[PLUG] strange VOB mount problem in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

I have 2 SANDISK USB memory sticks, one is an older 8 gig vob and the
newer is a 32 gig vob. Here's the problem. When I stick the 32 gig
vob into a USB port, Ubuntu quickly recognizes it and mounts it into
the local file system and the "df" command shows it. However when I
plug in the older 8 gig drive, Ubuntu seems confused, then mounts an
icon on the Gnome computer menu drop-down, but does not actually mount
the drive into the filesystem. I have to manually mount this drive.
But I am puzzled as to why the icon appears because that meant that
the OS saw something. Both are NTFS file systems. Trying to run
GParted from the Gnome Desktop results in an endless "Scanning all
devices..." message which never terminates.
What could be wrong here? I am assuming that something with the older
USB stick is causing the problems.
This problem seems to have recently appeared after Ubuntu 12.04 LTS upgrades.
