Sounds like something you should report to your distributor; In Fedora
we use the no-op mount option 'managed' and all entries are cleaned up
when the haldaemon starts up.

it (see Red Hat Bug 131234); I'm not sure how much of this is fixed now;
you might want to use the usb-storage driver instead.
