Bug Description

I'm not sure if it's a problem with gnome-volume-manager or nautilus, but when I
mount my iPod, its label is used (cool!) but it has a white space and nautilus
show me an error dialog when tries to open the new location because instead of a
white space, it's using the URL encoded char (%20)

The mount works and I'm able to browse it but I always get that error dialog.

do you remember if this is new, ie: since the gnome-vfs2 built with hal or before ?

The same happens with my digital camera a Pentax Optio 30 with a "lexar media"
branded SecureDigital.
There's just a slight difference in the encoded char, which is \040 in my case.

Hereby some useful (i hope) info gathered from hal-device-manager

volume.label string LEXAR MEDIA
volume.mount_point string /media/LEXAR\040MEDIA
volume.policy.desired_mount_point string LEXARMEDIA

Then nautilus complains abount being not able to find the path
"/media/LEXAR040MEDIA"
Anyway, it is still possible to browse the device clicking on his desktop's icon
and unmounting works as well.

Regards.

It was a typo, sorry.
