SUMMARY: NFS Script Error

All,

Thank you to all those who replied.  The winning responses were received by
Brett Monroe and Reginald Beavers.

I had inadvertently, and most blindly used mount as my function call that
actually called the bin mount causing it to put itself into a loop.
Renaming my function call to mount1 solved the issue.  

Again, thank you to all who replied.  I appreciate your time.
