Mounting devices with GnomeCommaner is not stable at the moment on
recent Linux distributions. The reason is that this happens using the
library Gnome-VFS. The library is outdated and the Gnome-VFS deamon is
not started/running anymore on the background. That's why you see a
number of error messages related to Gnome-VFS in the output.

The only workaround I know of at the moment is to use another program
for mounting devices and creating a bookmark to them, so that you can
quickly jump to the directory (e.g. /run/media).

Maybe others here have some hints how to use some scripts from within
the devices for mounting devices, but this is beyond my skills as well.
