It's obvious to me that I misinterpreted the information on page "man
fstab", and have not mounted these two partitions properly, because they
do not appear at all in the df readout:

*****
# df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6             20161172   4263432  14873600  23% /
udev                   1027092       112   1026980   1% /dev
/dev/sda7             30249960    432008  28281340   2% /home
*****

...

The pertinent lines of fstab are as follows:

*****
/dev/sda12    /mnt/info      jfs     ro,noauto,user        0 0
/dev/sda13    /mnt/datafiles jfs     ro,noauto,user        0 0
*****

They still make sense to me, but there must be a misunderstanding. How
is this incorrect?

Well... as I see it, it is correct. The partitions are not mounted because you have not explicitly mounted them...

Ie, the "noauto" keyword means that those two partitions will not be mounted automatically, and thus the "/mnt/info" dir will be empty,
obviously, till you mount it.
