It doesn't help.

The behaviour I experience is this:

gvfs seems to perform it's own independent device scan and it shows all
mountable devices found (identified by their disk label).

*In addition* to this independent device scan, it also shows devices
corresponding to fstab entries (identified by their future mount points).

This explains why FAT\040storage (or FAT_storage) always appears twice.

I therefore have no option but to use mnt/ as you suggest, as I have to include
an fstab entry if the partition is to be mountable by ordinary users.
