Thanks, Alkis.  This looks like "the greatest thing since sliced bread."

After having a first look at the dazzling completeness of the manpage, I 
found this page of cropped instructions for a simple application like 
the one I envision: 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bindfs-SharedDirectoryLocalUsers. I 
hope that it will be an easier place for me to get startedwith this.

But it says that due to a bug in mountall, for Ubuntu 9.10 and up the 
fstab method of starting this at boot time does not work, but instead 
prescribes an upstart method.  Do you know if the upstart method is 
still required?
