Problem mounting on loop device

[Geoffrey Leach]

Testing creation of dvd backup, I start getting complaints of "stolen" 
loop device. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong

root@mtranch[61]->mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop2 /tmp/dvd.iso /
media/CDROM
mount: stolen loop=/dev/loop2

That works, thanks. At least until I run out of loop devices :-)
