You are using a version that is years old. Update to the newest version. You can do that by either installing it from http://damonlynch.net/rapid/download.html , or waiting until 18.04 is released and installing the version found in that in release.

for the record, i see the same behavior in debian with 0.9.9 and 0.9.12. By default, RPD does not mount the sdcard automatically, i need to start Thunar or some file manager and click on the device to have it mounted. then RPD can see it and operate normally. i always thought that feature was just not implemented.
