Repeated mount requests

[Yamasculia]

Upon running Blacklight 3 gui, the system goes into a loop of:

1: Ask for sudo password
2: Select /dev to mount

Once you select the device, the sudo password prompt just appears again.

I am using Ubuntu Jaunty.

Does the Walkman mount correctly in Gnome / KDE when you plug it in, and if so what is the mountpoint? The mountpoint /media/WALKMAN is pretty much hardcoded into the program, and if it can't find that it assumes that the Walkman is not mounted. Blacklight's mount command will fail if the device is already mounted, and since the device is still not mounted at /media/WALKMAN it will ask you to select a device, yada yada yada.

There is a more intelligent way to handle the situation but it may take me a while to implement it. In the meanwhile, the CLI version of Blacklight can create the files if you use the --queue option, and it will put them into ~/.blacklight_queue/ so you can copy them manually to your Walkman.

I'd still like to know the above information, including any terminal output, as it might help me implement something quick-and-dirty that will always work :-)
