But in this case, you didn't lead to chaos, you pointed to a command I was not familiar with. Funny ... after over 50 years with Unix and Linux, I'm still learning new commands all the time!

I didn't discover udisksctl monitor until just now, when it occurred to me that Calibre wasn't installing udev rules so couldn't be hooking into that (instead it wants dbus messages), and that udev doesn't do automounting so something else must be doing it. A few seconds of grepping about in the massive pile of distro sources on my system and bingo, that's the culprit...
(and yeah, I follow null pointers and/or pointers to freed memory entirely too often. valgrind is a work of genius and madness and the single most useful debugging tool I have ever heard of.)
