Ah I didn't see that... good catch...

It did not appear there was any guarantee that &tmp would have been filled
with anything useful, especially with something like nfsvers=v3 is given.

I was just looking at the version and protocol options and I really
didn't want to make things too verbose. Meaning we don't need to be printing
two or three messages for one error... 

But I do see the need of going back and taking a good hard look
at all the diagnostics that do (and do not) come out of the mount
command in error conditions... since it appears the diagnostics 
messages are a bit light at times..
