bash$ mount -t iso9660 -o loop file.iso dirname/

is reporting: "mount: Not a directory," but it most certianly is.

I have tried various things, including chmod 777 ./tmp, /fullpath/file.sio /fullpath/dirname ... but it just won't take.

I have theorized that you can't mount a loopback device on a dir in a loopback device. But if that's the case, then the error message seems a little off.


Any ideas?

1. This is not a bug in media centre

2. you might need to be root to mount the loopback

3. give more info, copy and paste the actual commands and responses.
