Dear Kaj, You step into a non-trivial trap. It will work either if your mount path inside the container isn't 'mnt' or if you use lxc.pivotdir to define it to something other than it default 'mnt'. To get rid of this problem, I'm using an argument like '-s lxc.pivotdir=$CONTAINER' in my starter script.
