> bind mounts versus symlinks? No, that wasn't the problem. I just noticed that it was a typo that caused the error!
I actually typed: # ln -s /usr/www/cobbler /var/www/cobber instead of # ln -s /usr/www/cobbler /var/www/cobbler Note the missing "l" (el) in cobbler when creating the symbolic link. Sorry for the confusion.
