|
|	join devs:mountlist mymountentry as newmountlist
|	rename newmountlist devs:mountlist

That would ALMOST do it.  The entire sequence would go like this:

1. mount PIPE:
2. if 1. fails then
3.    copy pipe-handler to appropriate place
4.    if 3. fails forget it
5.    else join devs:mountlist with my PIPE mountlist entry
6.    (optionally rename as above)
7.    mount PIPE: [this hopefully will work]
8. endif
