Hm, it's not supposed to be :)
Perhaps you just spelled it wrong:
root@inode ~]# mount -o barriers=0 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/test
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
[root@inode ~]# mount -o barrier=0 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/test
[root@inode ~]#
