same USB hard disk mounted with different names

Bug Description

When I plug in my USB hard drive, it gets mounted into /media/STOREX. If, then,
I unmount it and re-mount it (using the disk mount applet or the icon in
"computer"), it gets re-mounted into /media/sda1 or /media/sdb1.

Now, even weirder: if I mount and unmount my disk using the icon in computer,
clicking on "open STOREX" in the disk mount applet results in an error the first
time, and in opening my home dir all the following times. Opening it using the
icon in "computer" works though.

I'd just like to add that it is important to always try to mount the same
hardware in the same place in /media so that applications like Rhythmbox 0.9 can
re-find files that were added to their library previously.
