I think I know why this isn't working.
It's due to the conversion to a threaded model.
And I fairly sure it can't work within v5 if we don't make changes.
It's actually quite difficult.
Basically, the daemon doesn't ever trigger a mount itself and since
there is only one daemon now you can't cause a mount to happen in
another mount point.
I'll have to think about how we can do this.
