One question: was this entry

 /dev/sda4               /media/ZIP750           vfat    
pamconsole,exec,noauto,iocharset=utf8,noatime,sync,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 
0 0

automatically added to your /etc/fstab file or did you add it yourself?

Also, is your Zip drive a USB one?

With the above entry you should be able to mount as an unprivileged
user, e.g.

 $ mount /dev/sda4

should work if you're logged in at the console.
