It should'n work. You can access names in the form that is
printed with 'ls' only, I think.
To solve the problem, I think the best solution would be to
use stackable layering. This is a problem that somebody could already
solved (search for heidemann and UCLA), if not and you have somebody
that can program in C, let him add some code to the null layer
template (see mount_null). One hundred lines of code, I estimate.
