This sort of error also happens with DOSEMU. My automounted lredir'd dos
drive (/dev/hda1;/mnt/dos) and my automounted cdrom get error messages
if they aren't currently "mounted". When lredir tries to access them,
the automounter mounts them (ie ls /mnt shows them), and they work fine
the second time. They also work if I do cd /mnt/dos; cd /mnt/cdrom;
[x]dos
Linux 2.1.130, automount 3.1.3, dosemu 0.99.4.0
