Perhaps the system on which you test has /tmp mounted from a separate
filesystem and not as a subdirectory in the / filesystem?  In my case,
/tmp is not mounted, and so with the provided auroot, /tmp/$$.ro.root
(which is bound to /) overlaps with /tmp/jail/ .  Perhaps my
understanding of overlap is still incorrect?  I kept getting an
overlap error trying to aufs /tmp/$$.ro.root with /tmp/jail/ .  I
tried append, prepend, and just using it as the only branch, but I
kept getting an overlap error.

Thanks,
Jayen
