You might want to make sure gnome-vfs-daemon actually died, and was
respawned.  If not, it will hold on to the old volume name.

On what mount point will this volume be mounted?  At this point, it's
not mounted at all.

I don't see that UDI in your output at all.  I do see a FAT32 partition
without a label (ad0s4), and one called SERVICEV001 (ad0s2).  Only the
former is mounted.

That is controlled by gnome-vfs, and is not FreeBSD-specific.
