    The real odd thing is what you see if you do a ls -al on /mnt:
karl at karl-hardy:/mnt$ ls -al
total 52
drwxr-xr-x   7 root root  4096 2008-08-11 05:44 .
drwxr-xr-x  22 root root  4096 2009-01-09 12:26 ..

karl at karl-hardy:/mnt$

It looks like many are linked to each other. Really wierd and I have no 
idea why this Hardy has such a thing. I wonder why I can't just rm the 
whole thing.
