New description:

 The `mount` call should return `-1` for an any error with the `errno` set.
 Some paths in the `mount` do this and others so not.

 The implementation needs to be changed to only return `-1` when there is
 an error.

Comment:

 The current behavior is correct. The NFS mounter is not correct.
