Bug Description

When mounting a LUKS encrypted drive from nautilus (example /dev/sda1 is not automatically mounted at startup), an error is reported upon successful entering of passphrase that "keychain cannot be updated at this time." The device then disappears altogether from the nautilus window and seems to have vanished, but actually the mapper object has been created and can be mounted manually from the command line.

This leaves the user potentially believing the device was never mounted but in actuality the mapper object is sitting there with their encrypted drive just waiting to be mounted. Furthermore, this leaves the user with no way to remove the mapped drive unless through the command window which, of course, means the user needs to know the mapped object was created in the first place.
