Zotfile renames external hard drive everytime it is unplugged

Zotfile seems unable to recognize the same external hard drive whenever it is unplugged and plugged in again.

This causes Zotfile to generate the following error when renaming:

Error when moving the file %x.
([Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_Error_Failure)[nslFile.moveTo]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_Error_Failure)" location: "JS frame:: chrome://zotfile/content/zotfile.js :: Zotero.Zotfile.moveFile :: line 1943" data: no])

A quick check using Zutilo shows that the default attachment path on the external drive has been changed to '/Volumes/Seagate 1/Zotero/storage/' when it was previously '/Volumes/Seagate/Zotero/storage/'.

Though the files are intact and the links can be fixed by modifying the attachment path with Zutilo, this bug is causing significant inconvenience.

What can be done to resolve this issue? Thank you!
