"Reasonably unique" doesn't really cut it. You're better off
generating a nonce name for the real mount point like so:

    Newmtpt=/media/richard/$(uuidgen)
    mkdir -p "$Newmtpt"

and then making a symlink to it using your LABELs. That way, mounting
will always succeed even if creating the link fails (which tells you
to take some action to rectify things).

Cheers,
David.
