managed to put together a couple proof of concept patches that mount
directly into /media/username that also simplify the code (especially
the code run as root).

basically, just switched the order of the ltspfs mount and the
/media/username directory creation, and dropped the bind mount from
lbmount. in order to do this, /media/username/* needs to be made
writeable by the user's group (the patch does this in lbmount).

works from the commandline, haven't tested with gnome or kde or anything
with a desktop, really.

patches attached.

live well,
