Steps to replicate:

1. Connect iPod to a Mac
2. Restore the iPod (in iTunes, select the iPod, click Restore and follow the 
prompts)
3. Accept the default name suggested for the iPod - it should be of the form 
"<username>’s iPod"
4. Eject the iPod
5. Connect iPod to Ubuntu machine
6. Eject the iPod

Result: "/media/<username>’s iPod/" remains after unmount

Expected result: "/media/<username>’s iPod/" should no longer exist once
device is unmounted


** Description changed:

- I have a 5th gen iPod, formatted from a Macintosh with iTunes, with the
+ I have a 6th gen iPod, formatted from a Macintosh with iTunes, with the
  volume name "Chris's iPod".
  
  When I plug it in via USB, it is correctly automounted in
  "/media/Chris's iPod/" and works fine.  When I eject the device, every
  again functions fine, except that the empty mountpoint directory
  "/media/Chris's iPod/" is left behind.
  
  On each subsequent automount, a new mountpoint directory is created by
  appending a "_" - i.e. "/media/Chris's iPod_/", "/media/Chris's
  iPod__/", "/media/Chris's iPod___".  This quickly becomes messy.
  Manually removing the empty directories fixes this, but clearly this
  shouldn't be necessary.
  
  I suspect the unmounting script is having a problem with the single
  quote character and/or the space character in the volume name.
