No problem. But your post reminded me few things:
1. This needs to be run on the remote host.
(No sftp://... notion allowed)
2. This has no unmount capability.
I guess having option such as "--to=self" to make obnam behave as my
script may provide cleaner solution covering sftp://... cases. So my
script is only good only for example.
In the mean time, I have updated my script to handle unmount.

# create a symlink: obnam-umount -> obnam-mount
# obnam-umount [path/to/obnam-repo]
