I've just reproduced this bug on the kernel.org 2.6.7 kernel. It seems that
there is a hidden directory on a ReiserFS file system used for XATTRs which
is unlabeled. Allowing mount to search this directory does no good as many
(most?) operations also need it (eg setfiles).
I've CC'd the ReiserFS mailing list. I would be happy to work with ReiserFS
developers in debugging this and testing the fix.
