OK, can you try the following? Right after you boot, can you try

blkid -t LABEL=vms6
Or you don't have to reboot; try changing the device name at the end
of the line for vmm6, changing it to be something like this:
<device DEVNO="0x0831" TIME="1202040663" LABEL="vms6" UUID="82a15e8d-bae0-4300-8329-dc89268a71c4"
TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2">/dev/sda5</device>
(The above is all one line)
and then try the above line, and see whether you get the right
information.
Blkid has always done the right thing in this regard, and nothing has
changed here recently --- that's why I'm asking you what version of
e2fsprogs you upgraded from previously.
I'm wondering if the issue is that the kernel is taking longer to
autodetect your USB devices, so they simpler aren't showing up at
boot. If the above works after the boot process.
So I would try the following. Try corrupting /etc/blkid.tab so the
device information for vms6 is wrong, and then try the mount. If it
works, but it's not working at boot time, try adding a sleep 15 before
the mount -a command in the init scripts, and see if that fixes it...
It seems to have something to do with device nodes which do exists in
namespace, but returns an ENOMEDIUM on open (*). When I tried your
example, or /dev/sda5 & 0x805, or any other /dev/sd* node (/dev/sd* is
maintained by udev on my box), or non-existing node, or node which
reports ENXIO (/dev/.static/dev/sdk1, /dev/.static/dev/sdg5) everything
is fine.
But when I pointed entry to:
<device DEVNO="0x0811" TIME="1202096532" LABEL="vms6"
UUID="82a15e8d-bae0-4300-8329-dc89268a71c4"
TYPE="ext3">/dev/.static/dev/sdb1</device>
(/dev/.static/dev/sdb1 is partition on device which returns ENOMEDIUM on
open)
it added correct line, but left incorrect in place as well. So blkid
now reports two results:
gwy:/home/petr# blkid -t LABEL=vms6
/dev/.static/dev/sdb1: LABEL="vms6"
UUID="82a15e8d-bae0-4300-8329-dc89268a71c4" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sdg1: LABEL="vms6" UUID="82a15e8d-bae0-4300-8329-dc89268a71c4"
TYPE="ext3"
And monut reports 'No medium' - with either one or two lines in
blkid.tab (and while blkid adds correct entry, mount does not do anything).
I've attached "strace blkid -t LABEL=vms6" output for case where there
was only bogus sdb1 entry in blkid.tab.
I suspect that problem is that volume in question was repartitioned &
reformatted recently - apparently it took udev some time to create nodes
in /dev, so blkid somehow found devices in /dev/.static/dev/sdX1, and
that triggered ENOMEDIUM problems on next boot - as for udev /dev/sdX1
would not exist, and so blkid would notice.
(*) I've looked at sources, and blkid has special case for
ENXIO/ENOENT/ENODEV. For ENOMEDIUM it reports back "returning
unverified data", and returns whatever it found in cache. I have no
idea what correct behavior should be - I'm sure in some cases users are
trying to mount drives without medium inside.
