Are you seeing this in the local machine's /Volume folder, or actually
on the drive itself?
If it's in your /Volumes folder then the normal mount point is WD-
Backup-TC and the drive is currently mounted on WD-Backup-TC-1. This
likely means there are files in WD-Backup-TC eating up your internal
drive's space.
This happens if the drive does not dismount properly and then gets
remounted. You probably want to unmount the TC (maybe unplug it) then
remove any remaning folder in your local /Volumes that appears to be
pointing to it. (I'm guessing WD-Backup-TC).

I was under the impression that most of the TimeCapsule mounting
problems had been resolved during a recent-ish update.

My MacPro backups to a local USB2 drive and is also about 95%
successful.

Well, I personally wouldn't have bought WD drives, but I don't think
that has anything to do with this.
