There aren't.  There are files that look valid for the lockers I try
to mount, and the lockers get mounted.  It buserrors after the attach
stuff happens, but before the path stuff is output.  One thing to look
at might be undefined environment variables.  My dotfiles
are...special and do not define all the variables that the standard
dotfiles do.  This might confuse attach, but shouldn't cause it to
crash.  They are all public if you are interested (env variables are
all defined in .login).
