I had the same problem with a USB drive that plagued me 
for a couple of years.

I finally solved the problem for myself a couple of 
weeks ago:

/bin/mount -t ext4 -o remount,otheroption,anotheroption 
/dev/sdc5 /media/automountpoint

Basically, this unmounts and then remounts the drive 
using the default, I believe *plus* the indicated 
options (assuming they do not over-ride the defaults, I 
guess).

I believe you don't have to specify both the /dev and 
/media, but you can. mount is smart enough to figure it 
out, as once I had my camera mounted, then un-mounted 
it, but the system had still reserved sdc5, so the USB 
drive became sdd5, but the command still worked.

Read man mount for more very informative and helpful 
information.
