hi joel,

actually, no.
i'm symlinking local volumes mounted where they're supposed to be, in /Volumes,
to ny /var/sub-hierarchy.

it's all been settled, actually (thread's discontinious ... sorry). turns out
it was the perms/ownership of the actual mount dir /Volumes/XXXXX that were
the(my) problem.
cheers,
