I hate to contradict you Oli, but that's not what the Debian FHS says:

  /mnt/ 
  Temporarily mounted filesystems

(http://wiki.debian.org/FilesystemHierarchyStandard)

Which is why I told Ray I wasn't comfortable with the use of /mnt for his 
swap file.  I don't think mounting a filesystem from fstab is any more 
correct in /mnt than /media.
