I don't get it... Are we talking about the drive, or the volume in the drive?
(one being the parent of the other)

Nope.

Of course, the StorageDrive (only exception being the floppy drives) hold 
no "mounting" information anyway.

Odd... But I think you misunderstood what I said earlier, in the tree when a 
device has the StorageVolume interface then the parent of this device has the 
StorageDrive interface. I think you try to get StorageDrive and StorageVolume 
on the same device.

One could say you really want to use KFilePlacesModel instead of all this code 
that leads to feature duplication. :-)

IIRC someone made a places dataengine...
