Check the mount table on the remote machine. The /home/libx path
must be accessible using the system mount table. Logon w/o
authentication doesn't enable the user specific mount table.
That means, e.g. if /home is a mount point to D:\home, mount
should print
D:\home on /home type system (binmode)
^^^^^^
that's important
Another problem is that in the above example the drive letter
D: must be a globally accessible drive, not a user specific drive
as it's often with Z: which is mounted when the user logs on.
