It looks like it is doing the right thing: making /local/etc appear at /etc.
Your original /etc contained all the normal files, and your /local/etc only
contains mtab. After the bind-mount, when you ls /etc, all you see is the
mtab which is really in /local/etc. So I don't see a problem here.
I'm assuming that your /local/etc really does contain only mtab. You did not
provide a listing of that directory. Do a "ls /local/etc" to see what is
there. I'll bet it will only list mtab.
