Hello!
Sorry I missed your previous messages .. in the meanwhile I switched to 
maverick and I can confirm you the bug is still there.

1. adding a line in fstab with uuid, as for example

UUID=3c5149ef-6ad0-4e86-99af-577386565507       /media/dati ext3
users,exec,acl,noauto,errors=remount-ro 0 1

will produce to have the label of the volume ("dati" in this case) listed twice 
under the places menu, with different icons
one at very top place under "computer" with an icon like
/usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/48/drive-harddisk.svg

and the other at the very bottom place with an icon like
/usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/48/drive-removable-media.svg


Clicking on the first will produce an error like:
title in italian (my language):
"Impossibile montare «dati»"
which means "It's impossible to mount «dati»"
and body in english:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: mount point /media/dati does not exist

so this could be a translation bug too.


Clicking on the second one will produce an error whole written in italian:
title "Impossibile montare «dati»"
body "mount: il mount point /media/dati non esiste"

which means "It's impossible to mount «dati»"
and "mount: the mount point  /media/dati doesn't exist".


2. specifying the dev partition number in fstab instead of its uuid, as for 
example
/dev/sda7       /media/dati ext3        users,exec,acl,noauto,errors=remount-ro 
0 1

will produce to have the label of the volume listed only once as
expected under the places menu, which is the first one of the previous
described, but still clicking on it will produce to have the same error
described above (the one with two languages).

Creating a folder under /media like

cd /media
sudo mkdir dati
sudo chown root:users dati
sudo chmod 750 dati

will solve any problem and the volume is mounted with acl activated.


In conclusion the bug is still there but you can easily bypass it by:
a. fstabbing using /dev/sdxx instead of uuid
b. creating a mounting point under media

However I think this could be easily fixed as well, because it would be good:
a. to use uuid in fstab
b. to have automatically created and deleted the mounting point when mounting 
or unmountung a device using the gui

I think this is not an urgent bug, but it would be nice to have it fixed
too in my opinion.

Thanks for your time

(I don't know how to re-open this report!)
