rc.local excerpt:
<CODE>
touch /tmp/bootupmount.errorlog
echo "start">>/tmp/bootupmount.errorlog
/var/lib/mythtv/mountscript-ALL.j > /tmp/bootupmount.errorlog
echo "end" > /tmp/bootupmount.errorlog.jake
</CODE>

mountscript-all:
<CODE>
/var/lib/mythtv/music/mountscript.j
/var/lib/mythtv/pictures/mountscript.j
/var/lib/mythtv/videos/mountscript.j
</CODE>

videos/mountscript.j (all same script):
<CODE>
mount b1:/var/lib/mythtv/videos/b1 /var/lib/mythtv/videos/b1
mount b2:/var/lib/mythtv/videos/b2 /var/lib/mythtv/videos/b2
</CODE>

When I run mountscript-ALL.j they all mount fine, in RC.local they don't

Also, doesn't work on third box says
<CODE>
mount.nfs: internal error
</CODE>

and the /tmp/bootupmount.errorlog is an empty file with correct timestamp

its a unix/linux share its nfs not smb
