For the record, this is not specific to Ubuntu or Ubuntu MATE at all --
I see this on Gentoo regularly, for example.  It seems to be caused by a
race condition in Caja and UDisks which didn't appear until UDisks
started mounting volumes under user-specific subdirectories of `/media`
-- so for example `user1` has volumes mounted under `/media/user1` and
`user2` has volumes mounted under `/media/user2`.  In ye olden days,
`user1`'s UDisks-utilizing process (such as Caja) would mount the
volume; `user2`'s instance of Caja would wait for the volume to get
mounted by `user1`'s Caja, then open the shared mountpoint at
`/media/[volume]`.  Nowadays this doesn't work in any case, since
`user1` puts in the request to mount the volume first and the volume is
mounted under `user1`'s private mount directory --
`/media/user1/[volume]`.  I'm not sure how to fix this yet, though.
Maybe (but just a WAG) UDisks needs some kind of integration with the
display manager or logind?
