It appears that it failed to start because old attach points were still in 
/mit when the system rebooted:

root@ringworld:/etc/init.d# /usr/bin/pyhesiodfs /mnt
fuse: mountpoint is not empty
fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/pyhesiodfs", line 226, in <module>
     main()
   File "/usr/bin/pyhesiodfs", line 223, in main
     server.main()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/fuse.py", line 713, in main
     main(**d)
fuse.FuseError: filesystem initialization failed

It appears that the same logic that was in /etc/init.d/update-ws to clean 
out /mit isn't present on this system, so it failed to start.

Was this a deliberate change from Athena 9?
