Using permissive mode is definitely the better option here since 
"selinux=0" will mean you need to relabel next time you boot with 
SELinux enabled.

In this case, the problem was fairly obviously due to SELinux since the 
originally posted error messages were SELinux denials for the "mounton" 
operation.
