It looks like there may be a problem with the ssh-host-config in the 5.1p1-7 release. It now uses "mount -t", but the -t option is no longer valid in the 1.7 version of mount.

This is on a vista machine with a clean 1.7 install (with openssh-5.1p1-7 installed from a local mirror since the public mirrors are broken right now). Switching it back to "mount -o text" seems to work (I'm not sure if that should be made conditional on 1.7 though).
