mount: only root can do that

Hi,
In my RHEL 4 system, I want to give a normal user permission
so that he/she can mount a nfs partition in one of his directories
inside his home directory.

I tried with SUDO like this:

user1 ALL=/bin/mount /user1/home/mnt ,/bin/umount /user1/home/mnt

I checked /sbin/mount and found it "-rwsr-sr-x".

But when the user1 logs in and try to execute

mount -t nfs xx.xx.xx.xx:/mnt/inst mnt

he gets "mount: only root can do that".

where m I wrong in setting this up ? please guide. thanks
