Thank you. :-)

Yes. I tried adding /home and they don't show up.

I changed the PRUNE... setting from "yes" to "no" and it shows up now
on the bind mount, but not on /htera.  Apparently placate ismuch
smarter than mlocate because the former would find both locations -
the native one and the bound one. plocate only shows one, which is
perfect.
