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
