This should all work about the way it did before if I implement my pony
- our hacked attach and detach, even though they don't directly
manipulate /mit, still change the attachtab, so if pyHesiodFS uses the
attachtab as its cache, then attach and detach start working the same
way they did again.
And for bonus points, with a per-user view onto /mit, detaching a locker
won't affect other users :)
