I suppose, the mast straightforward solution would be piping the device name through some text stream tool to reformat the hex into the corresponding shell escape sequence.

Maybe there is a newer version of usbmount available? Or is this one customized anyway?

There is no newer version and it is not configurable

A simple solution could be changing line 273 of file /usr/local/sbin/usbmount to

Code:

findmnt -S "$DEVNAME"  -n -o fstype,target -r | sed 's/\\x20/ /g' | sort -k2r \

This changes \x20 to ' '

Tested it here and it works
