RTFM. Literally - man 2 pivot_root and look for the only place where
it mentions EBUSY.
If you get that error, check what you've got in /proc/mounts (in the
namespace your process is in, obviously) just before the syscall.
With these arguments you really want /mnt to be a mountpoint. If your
new root really lives on the same fs as the old one, just do
mount --bind /mnt /mnt before any other mounts.
