@TheDreadPirate thanks again for all your help. I just changed the /etc/fstab entry to:
UUID=(xxx...) /media/Media exfat defaults 0 0
...then did the following and got the response shown at the end:
It still can't find it. So I thought maybe I'm copying the wrong string as the UUID... When I do ls -lx, there are two long strings, one of which is labeled "Type-UUID" and the other of which is labeled simply "UUID". I've been using the one in the "UUID" column. Just tried changing the fstab entry to the other string, and that didn't work (as you might have predicted!)
What seems to be happening when I disconnect and reconnect the drive is that as soon as I reconnect it, the OS grabs it and places it in /media/(username)/(drivename).
Some more info: it's a 2TB drive, formatted as exFAT on a Mac, connected via USB 2.
