Yeah, but having someone create a /vicepa directory and then the
fileserver just ignore it and say that /vicepa doesn't exist is really
unfriendly.  We can argue about the wording of the error message (it could
just say "ignoring /vicepa because it isn't a separate partition"), but it
should say *something*.
