I think you will find that what actually made the difefrence was the / you added to the /path/to/mount/  Before: /path/to/mount/media/hostnamefusedefaults,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000,user00   After: /path/to/mount//media/hostnamefusedefaults,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000,user00  I had a similar problem with a \\\'cifs\\\' mount and \\\'mount -l\\\' still shows \\\'cifs\\\'
