Writing to fstab

[Anne Wilson]

Something strange is happening in my attempts to write to fstab.  I have 
added, for instance,

LABEL=/OldData
/dev/hdb9               /mnt/data               ext3    users 1 2

then umounted the manual mount of /mnt/data and run

[root@david ~]# mount -a
mount: mount point  does not exist

However, the mount occurs and /mnt/data is readable in konqueror.

Clearly there is some sort of problem, but what?
