Did you find a solution yet? This is possible.

Example of what I think you want:

Code:
unxm1:/u/purdym>df -g
Filesystem    GB blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
...
df: /iqprod/logs: The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.
/dev/iq_asadb_lv
df: /iqprod/asadb: The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.
...

The owner of the filesystem must not be the user you are trying to limit.
The user you are trying to limit must not have group rwx to the filesystem.

Ex:
Code:
unxm1:/u/purdym>ls -lad /iqprod
drwx------  4 sybaseiq infrmtcs 4.0K 18 May 2006 12:22 /iqprod

Above, only the owner 'sybaseiq' can access the filesytem. Note no group or other permission on /iqprod.

Please be careful before you remove group and other permissions from your mount points.

MOUNT_ADOS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MOUNT_ADOS(8)

NAME
mount_ados -- mount an AmigaDOS file system SYNOPSIS
mount_ados [-o options] [-u uid] [-g gid] [-m mask] special node DESCRIPTION
The mount_ados command attaches the AmigaDOS filesystem residing on the device special to the global filesystem namespace at the location indicated by node. Both special and node are converted to absolute paths before use. This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time, but can be used by any user to mount an AmigaDOS file system on any directory that they own (provided, of course, that they have appro- priate access to the device that contains the file system). The options are as follows: -o options Use the specified mount options, as described in mount(8). -u uid Set the owner of the files in the file system to uid. The default owner is the owner of the directory on which the file system is being mounted. -g gid Set the group of the files in the file system to gid. The default group is the group of the directory on which the file system is being mounted. -m mask Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file system. (For example, a mask of 755 specifies that, by default, the owner should have read, write, and execute permissions for files, but others should only have read and execute permissions. See chmod(1) for more information about octal file modes.) Only the nine low-order bits of mask are used. The default mask is taken from the directory on which the file system is being mounted. SEE ALSO
mount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), mount(8) HISTORY
The mount_ados utility first appeared in NetBSD 1.0. BUGS
The 'ados' filesystem currently supports the Amiga fast file system. The 'ados' filesystem implementation currently is read-only. The mount_ados utility silently retries the mount read-only, as if the ro option were specified, when it encounters the [EROFS] error. BSD
