Help please!

After upgrade from 12.04, switching on or attempting to mount one of my  
usb hard drives gives this error message -.

Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sdg1: Command-line `mount
"/mnt/usb-ST350041_8AS_60CAFFFFFFFF-0:0-part1"' exited with non-zero exit
status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdg1,
            missing codepage or helper program, or other error
            In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
            dmesg | tail  or so

dmesg | tail gives (inter alia):

[ 1080.727830]  sdg: sdg1
[ 1080.732003] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI disk
[ 1081.383633] FAT-fs (sdg1): Unrecognized mount option "x-gvfs-show" or
missing value
[ 1871.160973]  sdg: sdg1

The disc is seen by the new system as a "place" but clearly
does not like it, even though 12.04 used it perfectly
happily, as does 12.10 my other usb disc. I'm technically incompetent and  
can't find anything to help with this difficulty, so any pointers are most  
welcome.
