I don't know what is the problem and I am not sure this is even a problem. But I will do some investigation.
This issue could be closed without the patch. If there is someone to explain this exactly, I would love to hear. Please comment.

The problem is that only administrators (or elevated users) can access the drive after it's been mounted. The default security descriptor assigned to the filesystem does not grant standard users permission to traverse, which prevents enumeration of the contents of the directory (or any access other than to specifically named files in the root directory of the mounted filesystem).

At the very least, an ACE should be added to the ACL for the filesystem to grant the user who mounts it Full Control (read/write/execute/change security). Administrators may or may not need to be granted full control as well.
