This has an error.   Mount requires the options BEFORE the device being 
mounted.
Maybe that is the problem since it does not apply your options to the 
mount command.

SYNOPSIS
       mount [-lhV]
 
       mount -a [-fFnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-O optlist]
       mount [-fnrsvw] [-o options [,...]] device | dir
       mount [-fnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-o options] device dir
