Trimmed all past discussion just to save space. PROGRESS: - The comma should NOT be there as it is not part of the type, it is an option allowing a user to do the mount. - The reason the first two and the last two fail is for some reason the file is not found even though it is really there. I suspect something like wierd syntactical thing or a buffer overflow, or ... I will have to look at this more. - When I dumped the comma and did a sudo mount -a, I got
