IMO the problem of the mount helper is, it does not cleanup all mountpoints 
(or at least the currently requested) before create new dirs in /media (I 
can't see something like this in tools/hal-storage-mount.c atm).

There are two possible ways for explicitly requested mountpoints if they 
already exists:
1.) 
 - check if mountpoint already exist:
   [YES]: check if there is already a mount for this dir
          [YES]: exit
          [NO]: check if the mountpoint was created by HAL
                [YES]: reuse
                [NO]: exit
   [NO]: create mountpoint ...

2.) 
 - call cleanup mountpoints script before check mountpoints

Btw: this all is maybe a littlebit racy if more than one mount script is 
running at the same time. Maybe you should not explicitly requested 
mountpoints or HAL should also add '_$nÄ to the mountpoint in this case.

Cheers,
