Hi,

I just ran into the same problem (using Gutsy) and I know what the
problem is. A user can change the mount point in the context-menu of a
mounted disk by entering a different mount point, see screenshot. The
problem is that the user is led into a trap as it seems one has to enter
a full mount path beginning with "/media/.." but in actuality what the
user has to enter is -only- the directory name where the device should
be mounted to.

In the screenshot: To get the USB stick mounted to /media/fatty, I only
have to enter "fatty" and -not- the whole path. BUT the GUI misleads me
because the old mount point is given a full path.

Solution: Change the GUI to make clear that the user only has to enter
the directory name and not the full path.
