That's not a bug, that's a feature. "osipbzlog" means
"akom:/export/zlog mounted on /mit/osipbzlog". If you mount it
somewhere else, it's just some random filesystem.
As an example of why this is a feature, consider what happens when
user A does:
attach -m /mit/sipb bitbucket
attach -m /mit/notsipb sipb
and then user B does
add sipb
In 8.2, that will succeed, and user B will end up with
god-only-knows-what in his path. In 8.3, it will fail. This is good.
You are happy about this.
