I have noticed this behavior too.  It does not happen on my desktop
machine, but it does happen on my laptop.

You cannot rely on all volumes being mounted at /Volumes.  The
userInfo dictionary has the correct path, just use it.  Prepending
"/Volumes" is incorrect, and your other code must be fixed.

I believe external drives still mount in /Volumes.  I have seen
internal drives mount under both / and /Volumes.

No idea.  File a bug: http://bugreport.apple.com.

The first thing you need to do is stop relying on all volume mount
paths beginning with /Volumes.
