I forgot that mount won't tell you what's mounted (it relies on /etc/mtab, not /proc/mounts). But you worked that out.

If you can happily mount onto /programs0, there's nothing to stop you symlinking /usr/local to it. Hmm, is it possible that /usr/local is already a symlink on your player? Mount might not like that.
