What type of filesystem are you trying to mount?  Have you tried with
2.1.47 (46 is pretty buggy regarding filesystems, not that 47 is
perfect)?  How about a more stable 2.1.x (the filesystem code in the
current 2.1.x releases is being heavily re-done, so lots of stuff is
currently broken)?

As for mount, the Documentation/Changes file recommends at least 2.6g,
which is available from 
ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux/util/mount-2.6g.tar.gz .  I believe
2.7a's out now, but AFAIK 2.6g will work for everything, so I haven't
updated that part of Changes.

later,
chris
