I couldn't immediately follow up on the responses to my plea. I had to master one album, engineer/produce the first six songs to another album, repair sessions and mix a third album; all Ardour and JAMin jobs. Meanwhile I read the responses and sure enough I am mounting on a non-empty directory. I pulled apart my studio and the linux box to record a remote job. Part of this system is an rsync mirror that runs on a cron job but I pulled the HD where the mirror writes. Whoops! The directory it needs to write to is there but it's /mnt/mirror.
