The problem is that the default path when mount is run does NOT include
/etc or /usr/etc. To make sure mount is run with the correct PATH in it's
envirionment execute ther following.

PATH=$PATH	mount -v -t lo /var/tmp/tmp /tmp > /dev/console 2>&1

You can put loopback filesystems in /etc/fstab and mount them by

PATH=$PATH mount -vat lo
