To my knowledge there is nothing at that mount point.
I can connect 5 usb sticks and they will all give the same error.
5 different sticks are almost guaranteed to have different mount points, so=

Do you have access to another comp to test one of the sticks, so you have=20

After that file a bug with PCLOS so they can file an upstream bug.

My thinking exactly.
I do have several computers in me wee lab. The sticks are all fine, mount and
umount on all other computers, including another pclos 64 with the same
kernels. At first I thought it was a kernel bug, wrong.
I can only guess I'm installing something that messes it up.
I reinstalled the OS into the test computer and incrementally installing
packages until I find the culprit.
I've noticed some odd behavior with some trinity packages such as
trinity-tdeio-umountwrapper, it removes the "safely remove" from all menus
related to removable drives.
I think I'm installing an incompatible packages. I've done it before. Honestly
I'm my own worst enemy.
Thanks for the UDisks2 tip. I'll check into that.
