What were you trying to do?
	make sure "nomountpoint" worked


What went wrong?
	it will remove files before giving permission denied


What should have happened?
	it should decide you can't do that before mucking with the filesystem


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	To repeat:
add "nomountpoint ^/core" to attach.conf
ls -l /core (should be a link to /usr/tmp)
attach -m /core opuser (should get you can't mount there)
ls -l core (should be a link to /usr/tmp, but is gone.)
(This will nuke empty directories too (for instance lost+found)
