USB mounting of device with space in name

I just inserted a usb stick of a friend in my computer, and I'm happy to 
see it was instantly mounted. Great work!

The problem is, however, a gnome popup showed:

===================================
title: Can't display location.
---------------------
Couldn't find "/media/NO040NAME".
Please check the spelling and try again.
===================================

This is because the device is mounted under "/media/NO NAME/".

It looks like the space in the directory name is mapped to "040", and I 
think that's a bug.


I'm sorry, but I have no experience with usb storage stuff, and a hasty 
bugzilla search didn't show results. I hope this issue can be handled here.

Thanks,

Eric
