Here you say "mount /dev/sdb1 on a mount point
/media/Philips_External_Hard_Disk when file systems are mounted in a
startup sequence". For a removable at least 'noauto' is missing
there.
now when I insert an USB stick I can't mount it and my system says
that it not possible to mount it as only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on
/media/Philips_External_Hard_Disk
That is what you are saying above with "defaults".
(taht is not connected)
An additional USB is mounted as sdc1
Trying to "recycle" mount points below /media you are getting into a
food-fight with hal and gnome-mount. Regardless of possible
outcomes this is surely unhealthy. You should really look at what
'man gnome-mount' has to say (and that may include "SEE ALSO"
section). At least some information is there.
If your goal is to pass automatically additional options to mount
then with nfts-3g you are in luck. You can use for that a
/system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g gconf key.
It looks like that your wounds are self-inflicted.
