Can anyone tell me under what circumstances the following command

`mount /water/local`

would fail with the message "requested filesystem not in fstab", when
there is a line in /etc/fstab:

water:/water/local /water/local nfs rw,bg,retry=2,timeo=20,intr 0 0

and the directory /water/local exists on the local machine?

(The command `mount water:/water/local /water/local worked just fine.)
