I told you  did I not, that StarOffice 5.1 will not navigate over mount
points. This would indicate that SO is not using the standard file system 
commands.   [which should be warning enough to stay away]

It also indicates that it was never tested by StarDivision or Sun
Microsystems on an installation which is spread over many partitions.
