All looks very nice, except that the devices are NOT mounted as
regular filesystem folders. I can only see them on the GUI through
Caja.
That problems down to the external device not offering a straight-
forward method of access to itself, but using a handling protocol.
You might want to look into:
gvfs-mount (or whatever's superceded it)
I'm not sure if these psuedo-mounts appear elsewhere on the filesystem
tree, without being advertised. /run/user/$USER/gvfs/ or
/run/user/$UID/gvfs/or ~/run/ perhaps? And if they do appear there, it
may be a diabolical mess to follow, as the handler that makes it easier
for you isn't being used, through this path.
More info that might be useful:
