The wierd thing is that mount hasn't given an error. I suppose the thing to do
is to stick a "pause" or an "exit" after the mount to see if has actually worked
(if not, then strace it and see why not). If it has worked then figure out why
it get umounted in between or if the variable named gets mangled for any reason.
