No, it has nothing to do with mounting directories. Tscd is a userspace
daemon for TPM. As long as you don't have an Atmel TPM chip installed on
your machine, you don't need tcsd in this case. For TPM to work, it needs
both hardware and software support.

I guess it's simply a bug.

No, because I don't have any Atmel TPM chip and I simply switched it off.
Will do it now.
