I don't see how that could be. 

First, the Movies drive is USB, which doesn't require sudo permissions,
and it was often mounted at Movies1 instead of Movies. More
importantly, I rarely try to mount something with the GUI, but if I did,
it mounted right away - just not in the right folder, the same as when I
mounted something from the command line.

The only theory I can come up with is that mount can't mount something
to an existing folder, therefore it makes up a new one. But that makes
little sense too, because now that the mount point is specified in
fstab, mount happily mounts the drives into existing folders.

If I executed the command 'mount /dev/sdc /media/jjj/Movies' the
command would execute immediately and without error, but /dev/sdc would
usually be mounted in /media/jjj/Movies1.
