Which is why I never trust the automounter for non interactive tasks. It is a nice convenience to deal with thumb drives, when I am doing interactive stuff, but real processes get real solutions.
Randomly unplugging stuff without cleanly unmounting adds to the risk of the automounter getting confused and getting stale mounts. One of the issues with the automouter is that it is "magic" and less knowledgeable folks just assume (perhaps reasonably) since it does the mount without any intervention, that it should do the unmount without any user requirements and they just yank the device.
