problem with mount script

[Stefan Wold]

I agree this is an issue. I've always been voting for a less 
intelligent mount script. But the other developers seem to be in favour 
for the current approach. The mount command it self can handle the mount 
order, that includes bind. Guess it's time to have another discussion 
about it.

To temporarily solve the problem you can edit the mount script and add 
something like "mount -a" in the end which should take care of it.
