All,
Thank you to all those who replied. The winning responses were received by
Brett Monroe and Reginald Beavers.
I had inadvertently, and most blindly used mount as my function call that
actually called the bin mount causing it to put itself into a loop.
Renaming my function call to mount1 solved the issue.
Again, thank you to all who replied. I appreciate your time.
