   it always showed with something a lot shorter than the above.

      udisks   
      
      This is the modern replacement for gnome-mount. It's not gnome specific.   
      
      When you mount a disc normally with the file browser (nautilus etc)   
      it mounts disks by interacting with udisks behind the scenes.   
      
      /usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/sdb1   
      
      *******   
      
      ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/                                       # get the   
   identifier   
      
      udisksctl mount --block-device /dev/disk/by-uuid/1313-F422>     # Add the   
   new partition   
      
      ...   
      
      Adding to startup   
      
       From the Ubuntu dash (click logo in top left) find startup applications or   
   press Alt+F2 and type   
      
           gnome-session-properties   
      
       Push the Add button.   
      
       Choose a name, paste in your command and push the Add button    # Paste in   
   the command that works.

   The pattern suggests, that you did the udiskctl-like form, and some   
   identifier has changed. Verify the identifiers and correct the situation.   
      
   I've never done anything like this. Should be interesting :-)
