The Tracker applet is in the top bar, right hand side (it looks like a
magnifying glass), right click on the icon and click the "Preferences"
option, check the "Ignored FIles" tab, you can set paths to be ignored
by the indexing of your files, I suppose putting there /media (or
wherever the temporary devices are mounted) should alleviate the
problem.
