  1. Is there a way to tell nautilus where to automount specific devies - say, mount a device with UUID=xxx-yyy on /foo/bar?

  2. Also, is there a way to disable/enable automount for specific devices (by specifying a UUID or device label)?

N.N.

You can control where a device is mounted via the /etc/fstab file. Here are some examples from my /etc/fstab - it's up to you to adjust it for your situation. 

# Part of the 1TB drive, for Rick's recovery
UUID=abcf5311-d080-4840-8056-ee4de9d62bfd /opt/Rick ext4    nodev,nosuid,user,noauto,rw
#
# My current mp3 player
UUID=70E0-C8E1 /home/walt/mnt/SANSAClip vfat    nodev,nosuid,noexec,user,noauto,rw
#
# My backup 1TB StoryStation
UUID=ff359af0-d996-4949-b27e-f24ce453c48c /backvol ext3 nodev,nosuid,noexec,user,noauto,rw

Because they all have the noauto option, they don't automount (except the mp3 player, and I don't even have gnome-mount installed).
