[plug] Named nfs exports?

[Jason Nicholls]

Perhaps use can remount the new filesystems in the old location, i.e. by
using "mount --bind /new_mount /old_mount"

e.g: mount --bind /server/backups /raid1

I do this for a reason I can't even remember now - perhaps cause a symlink
wasn't sufficient for some reason ...
