Since I don't use dolphin at all, I'm making a guess but dolphin is the 
one that mounts it in media....  and media is where you made your 
Billie0W directory.

So the /etc/fstab needs to have the TOTAL path as to where to mount it, 
so    /media/Billie0W  would be the total path.

Personally, what I do, is to make permanent mount points in the root 
directory "/"  and then make entries into /etc/fstab to point to those 
mount points.

I'd have to see what the path in /media looks like but you most likely 
have a Billie0W directory on the volume/disk that is being mounted.
