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..
