I wonder if you can ever specify an export path that does not begin with
a '/' -- is that possible when mounting an NFS server that exports, say,
an old-fashioned HFS volume?
It is quite legal to specify a path that doesn't start with '/':
NFSv2/v3 mount servers will, for instance, just implicitly assume it.
For that reason, there were user complaints the last time we started
requiring the '/' and returning an error when it wasn't supplied.
And, hence, the [] syntax... :-)
