No joy, I'm afraid. To the best of my understanding from the source the
'mount' type is keyed entirely on the mount point. I'll take out a bug as
time allows, but I'm not entirely sure how to phrase it. It's rather less a
bug than it is that a fundamental assumption of one of puppet's core types
does not hold.
