I couldn't immediately follow up on the responses to
my plea. I had to master one album, engineer/produce
the first six songs to another album, repair sessions
and mix a third album; all Ardour and JAMin jobs.
Meanwhile I read the responses and sure enough I am
mounting on a non-empty directory. I pulled apart my
studio and the linux box to record a remote job. Part
of this system is an rsync mirror that runs on a cron
job but I pulled the HD where the mirror writes.
Whoops! The directory it needs to write to is there
but it's /mnt/mirror.
Thanks for the help,
