Odd mount on /mnt problem

    I was just looking for the pictures on a memory chip and when I 
looked at /mnt I discovered THIS computer is mounted at /mnt! Here is 
what I see:

karl at karl-hardy:/mnt$ ls
bin   cdrom  etc   initrd.img      vmlinuz
boot  dev    home  initrd.img.old  vmlinuz.old
karl at karl-hardy:/mnt$ cd
karl at karl-hardy:~$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6             7.4G  5.0G  2.1G  71% /
varrun                506M  116K  505M   1% /var/run

gvfs-fuse-daemon      7.4G  5.0G  2.1G  71% /home/karl/.gvfs
karl at karl-hardy:~$

I do not know what gvfs-fuse-daemon is but it looks odd. It has nothing 
as you can see:

karl at karl-hardy:~$ cd .gvfs/
karl at karl-hardy:~/.gvfs$ ls
karl at karl-hardy:~/.gvfs$


I rebooted and the same thing happened just as before.

Something is mounting /dev/sda6 at /mnt and I can't get it to stop with 
sudo umount /mnt because this says nothing is mounted!
