It depends on a couple things.  First, is Bob using fstab manually?
Is he using Ubuntu's GNOME automounter?  Is he using a version prior
to 9.04?

9.04 rearranged things such that GNOME's VFS subsystem is now
accessible to the rest of the Linux system.  I'm guessing they linked
it in via FUSE or some such.

An experiment: Create a .html file on your external disk, and
double-click on it in Nautilus.  What does Firefox then say the path
is?
