I can reproduce the part where if you "don't first remove the /media/External directory, it will mount it to /media/External_".
This seems to be a permissions problem. gnome-mount uses HAL to mount external mediums. HAL usually mounts to /media/$disklabel. If you manually created /media/External as root (sudo mkdir /media/External) or somehow the permissions of that folder gets changed, then HAL does not have the permission to mount to that directory. Hence using /media/External_. Perhaps you could try unplugging the external medium, removing that directory (sudo rmdir /media/External) and External_ if it exists, then try plugging the external medium back, and mounting it with gnome-mount. Mixing the use of gnome-mount and mount may cause permissions problems sometimes.
