you need "-t hfsplus" not just hfsplus by itself - like

sudo mount -o umask=000 -t hfsplus /dev/sdb3 /mnt/osx

Without -t, it doesn't make sense. And probably it would prefer it like:

sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/osx -o umask=000 -t hfsplus

rather than with switches at the beginning.

put a blank line at the end of fstab. It's just one of those things -  
like when the recording comes on that says "you have to dial a 1  
before this number". If the system knows you need to dial a 1 (or  
have a newline at the end) then why doesn't it just *do* it, instead  
of telling me about it?  Who knows.

possibly, but I kind of doubt it.
