More information:

The reason that a second automount daemon failed was that the chroot has 
not occurred at the point were exec.d commands get run (???)  I thought 
this was the entire point behind that directory!

Can anyone explain how I can get an arbitrary sequence of commands to 
execute as root user _after_ the session and the new root location has 
been established?
