I had a similar line in /etc/devices.conf, putting it in /etc/devfs.conf instead of /etc/devices.conf did the trick.
Thank you.

I also had a bit of an issue with this. Mounting as user once was easy enough but setting it up to persist between reboots is where I ran into some trouble. 

The doc says to add " fd0 root:operator 666" to /etc/devices.conf (that was a floppy ex., fd0 should be replaced with your usb label). 



In order to get it to work I had to add the line "perm da8* root:operator 666" and that was to /etc/devfs.conf not /etc/devices.conf. 



This was of course, after making sure I was in the operator group and setting vfs.usermount=1 in /etc/sysctl.

usb stick (usb mass storage class) IS a block device, as your url 
explains how to mount block devices.
