Sorry I've been slow to reply on this; I've been busy with other things.
I think using mount --bind would have consequences that I don't want to
deal with (in particular, if one mounts 1600 volumes with it (as one
machine that I run currently does), "mount"'s output becomes totally
unusable). I could write an entirely new fuse filesystem to do the
symlinks (probably in a few hundred lines), but I'd prefer to use afuse.
If I were to debug the problem, would you accept a patch to the current
afuse to support this sort of symlinking automounter?

Hi Jeremy,
The old afuse bug regarding auto unmounting has come back.
Could you please take a look at this bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=477766
Any help would be appreciated.
I believe the issue is that the script that he is setting afuse to
invoke is doing something invalid --- afuse does not expect him to be
calling rmdir on the mount point and then creating a symlink in its
place. The changes with the new version may indeed prevented his script
from working, but I don't believe afuse is designed to support it.
Creating a bind mount should work, though.
Jeremy: Thanks for the info.
Timothy: As Jeremy says, afuse is not designed for this particular
task. Could you please check your script again?
Regards,
Varun
