The automount code (at least for indirect mounts) will not mount an
entry which is a file - it has to be a directory.
The reason behind this is that the code first creates the directory
then tries to mount the remote object on it.
In order to mount a remote file you need to mount it over a file,
not a directory. (As far as I can tell, mounting a file on a file works
OK in Linux).
Would it be possible to get automount to retry on a file if it gets
ENOTDIR from the remote end?
