Without your server mounted, open a Finder window.  Type Cmd-Shift-G (Go to Folder... off the Go menu) and type "/Volumes" into the box and hit OK. 

I suspect that in this folder you will have bad aliases &/or folders with your server's name.  You can safely throw them away.  What may be happening is that the server is mounting and the disk name is conflicting with these erroneous items and getting renamed.

If not, then something else is going on.  ;)
