Is this a kernel problem, or is my mount too old, or is there something else awry?



May be you don't have kernel support for loop devices or it is modular which need to be loaded manually?


 From the original email:
bash-2.04# grep loop /proc/devices
  7 loop

So, no, I don't think that's the problem. (Besides, it's built in.)

Any other ideas?

Looks like it was the old version of mount.
