This command should always give an error. If
/mnt/nwfs does not exist you can't create
/mnt/nwfs/., and if /mnt/nwfs exist then so will
/mnt/nwfs/.

I see that ncpmount is commonly used in Linux 
environments and I have found some old and rather 
vague references to it under FBSD. But I can't find it
in the FBSD ports, and it is certainly not in the base
system of FBSD 4.7, 4.8 or 4.9. Where did you get it
or is it standard on 5.x?

I've been using mount_nwfs on 4.5, 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9
releases from the standard installation without 
problems.
