Please see the attached screenshot: upper half of windows uses system:/media/sdb and shows the describes malfuncions (i.e.: <del> not working, no autorefresh), the lower half shows the very device but where it's mounted in the filesystem as /media/toshiba and there it works as expected (i.e.: <del> working and autorefresh working).
