Two days ago I've seen a perhaps similar problem with an ext3 disk:
Connected via USB
running fsck (with some options)
mount /dev/$disk $mountpoint
also told that the disk was mounted (it wasn't really).
Maybe some other operation (like - in this case - fsck) on/with the disk
leads to this wrong message.
Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
