Hi Willem, The only reference to "nonempty" in binds code is when a directory is mounted on itself. In that case bindfs adds `-ononempty` automatically. I changed it so it doesn't on FUSE 3: https://github.com/mpartel/bindfs/commit/2c2337b7c9b87744662c4b08d453bf7128444f43 (git master, not in a release yet)
If that doesn't help, maybe you're running a mixed environment where e.g. bindfs is compiled against FUSE 2 but the system runs FUSE 3 helper binaries? The version list at the end of your e-mail suggests this. I added an option that may help you debug that: https://github.com/mpartel/bindfs/commit/4b87500fef925e591b08cb8aea6bf0a21b84dd72 Let me know if I can help further.
