Why the hell would an adminstrator rely on "desktop" automount
functionality for amanda virtual tapes?  No one has taken away your
ability to create an fstab entry or to use your own cmdline mount
commands to mount this objects outside of the desktop context.
If you need to use programs as an administrator that do not understand
how to talk across dbus and get access to the device information from
the hal layer.. you still have the older means at your disposal to
create your own fstab entry and mountpoints for the devices to enforce
whatever naming scheme you desire.
