User mountable partition and nautilus

I have the following line in /etc/fstab:
LABEL=Store  /mnt/Store ext3    noauto,user,owner,exec 0 2
The volume "Store" duly appears in "Computer". Clicking
on it mounts the partition and opens a nautilus with the
contents, so far so good. However clicking a second time
results in a popup saying:

mount: /dev/hdb1 already mounted or /mnt/store busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdb1 is already mounted on /mnt/store

This makes sense somehow, if clicking on the icon "Store",
meant "mountg the volume and produce an error if already mounted".
This is however not the expected behaviour. In FC4 this worked
as it should.
