I noticed that the drive light flickers furiously during the delay. Might nautilus be trying to build a directory listing or run fsck on the drive?

I tried an "strace nautilus <folder>" command, but the process detaches before the delay starts.

I installed tribe5 from scratch in case it would fix it. It fixed another problem (drives not automounting) but not this one.

gnome-volume-manager is at 2.17.0-2ubuntu1 (or maybe I mistyped it in earlier - my previous entry didn't have a '2' in front of ubuntu1).
