It's definitely getting a "mounted" even when the volume is already in
the list of mounted volumes.  I haven't gone into the daemon-side code
to see what's going on.

In the meantime, I put in a band-aid in Nautilus so that it doesn't
choke on such remounted volumes.  This is not the stock Nautilus code;
it has the patch I sent a while ago to the list to show both  drives and
volumes on the desktop, e.g. so that you can access floppies easily.
However, it does look like the problem in gnome-vfs is general.
