It can be a bug. The image file support comes from an external patch
that was not so well tested... Maybe some missing loopback support in
the kernel.

You can also have a look at the gnap_overlay script and see what else
could be failing. I suspect the mount is not checked for errors or
something like that, unfortunately I have no time to check right now.

As a workaround, you could try to mount your P200 hard disk into your
workstation (as /dev/hdd or whatever) and use overlay to disk directly
(rather than using an intermediary image file). This is way better tested ;)
