The name changed after I started using udev's devfs.rules. These rules
for whatever reason change the name to the true devfs name and make a
symlink to the compat(%n) name given by upstream(guessing the kernel).

So udev changed the name of the dir made by pmount, is gvm even involved
in this proces? I would guess that gvm simply runes mount and maby pmount
dereferences the symlinks.

Also how is volume.policy.desired_mount_point to be changed, so the user
can use only devfs names or only compat names or only old-compat names?
