Here's an alternate method.

Your disks should each have a unique UUID identifier, that can be used 
to create a fstab entry.

For example, when I plug in my USB MP3 player, /dev/disk/by-uuid gets a 
symlink 1839-015E, symbolic link to `../../sdb'. Not much use. However, 
I have an entry in /etc/fstab: UUID=1839-015E  /Media/Sansa2  ..., 
which allows me to access its contents by mounting /Media/Sansa2.

This works on Fedora 17. On 16, the link was in a different directory, 
but the principle was the same.

Good luck.
