Another couple of options for people to mull over (not better just 
different)...

As root do a remount rather than umount/mount, e.g.

   mount -o remount,exec /media/volname

As a user you seem to no longer be allowed to directly mount/umount stuff 
any more :-( but you *can* ask HAL to do it for you, e.g.

   gnome-mount -u -p volname
   gnome-mount -p volname

and that allows options to be passed as needed for this case:

   gnome-mount -p volname -o exec

obviously with volname being the volume name...
