CVSWeb won't recognise mount points

Hi guys,

The data store behind our CVS server is on a windows box for reasons best known to my predecessors. Therefore the CVSROOT is a cifs mount point, actually it's /mnt/CVS but that's by the by.

The problem I have is that CVSWeb fails to recognise mount points as directories, and tells me that there is no such directory as /mnt/CVS, and yes it is mounted.

I probably don't understand mount points as much as I should, but I create a directory and it sees it fine, albeit there's nothing IN it to see. Then as soon as I make the mount CVSWeb won't see it any more.

Any ideas?
