Yep, thanks, cut and paste error.

Like I said, I don't want to go though the test process unless I have
something that is, in principal, OK.

If whatever approach we use is acceptable, and will work, then I'll put
the effort into it. I just don' want to spend a heap of time on
something that is basically not the right thing to do. For example,
exporting lookup_mnt?

Oh, I'm not up with this, I'll have to check this out, might be useful
for more than just this case, thanks for the comments.
