 > mount localhost:/ mnt

 Chris Timmons has pointed out in private mail that this looks like
 it might be caused by a more general problem with the loopback
 interface that I and others have noticed.  Could you please try
 the same test again, but using your real host name instead of
 "localhost" for the mount?
