Yeah, that could easily be a problem, since by default the fileserver
insists on the /vicepX directories being real partitions.  You can try
creating an empty file called /vicepa/AlwaysAttach, which will force
the fileserver to attach /vicepa even if it's not a partition of its
own.

Though if you do end up figuring out how to properly obtain mountpoint
information on MacOS X, and can submit a patch, that'd be great.
