OK solved it by doing the following:

 1. Connecting a signal to the volume monitor for *volume-added*.
        - This only works if the mount point is at /media/<...>
 2. Add an entry to fstab.
 3. Run the main loop.
 4. Async callback to finish write to fstab.
        - Don't quit the main loop here!
 5. The volume-added signal is triggered and does a callback to a function
        - Quit the main loop here.

This works as expected. Hope this helps anyone with similar issues.

Thanks,
Amit
