Brian,

I am sorry: after experiencing this mounting problem I experienced many
other problems as well. Therefore I decided to do a clean install, which is
running as I type this.
I realise now that this is not helpful for this particular issue.
In short: I can't provide the log files as requested.
Sorry.
