>From my point of view, it's good to not auto-mount devices. I have an
USB harddrive with three labeled partions ("devel", "virtual",
"private"). I mount this using a self-written script. They are mounted
to /home/jannis/<label>. Thunar/HAL would mount them to /media/<label>,
which personally, I don't like. 

The refresh problem you mentioned I would consider to be a bug.
