OK, now to dig a little deeper.  The set of directories (it varies) that
I'm wanting to access "appear" to have no common high level directory
(they are anchored on the WinXP desktop), so I need to do a separate
mount for each. Short of putting a big list in fstab, is there any way
to get a given directory mounted for general use upon demand, either by
command or by root command and make the permissions such that normal
users can manipulate it?
