check if you volmgt daemon is running or not. if yes, check df -h output if its auto mounted. if yes, unmoun it and then retry to manual mount to your said /rmdisk. Use this : mount -F pcfs /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0:c /rmdisk

Its either you might be able to access it directly via /vol/dev/aliases/rmdisk0
