Any useful output if you will try to use 'gnome-mount' directly
from a command prompt?  That's what you trying to do by double
clicking but not much to see then.  Pay attention to what
'gnome-mount --help' has to say.

It appears from what you write that kernel is doing its job.  What
precisely fails is not obvious from your description.  I guess that
you can always complain here about 'gnome-mount'.  Likely attach
an 'lshal' output to your report.
