Try changing the permissions of /dev/sda*.. I suggest you do a chmod 0666 /dev/sda* and then try to mount it.. If it succeeds then change the ownership to group disk chown root:disk /dev/sda* and the permissions to 660 (rw/rw) chmod 0660 /dev/sda* I'm not sure whether this will help but it's worth giving a try..
