mount error trying to use fai-cd

[Tim Edwards]

I've upgraded to the 3.2.9 packages now and still getting the same 
error. I've taken a copy of the fai-cd script and added in some 
debugging statements above the mount command, ie:
file $tmp1
file $nfsrootdir/etc/apt/sources.list
mount -v --bind "$tmp1" "$nfsrootdir/etc/apt/sources.list"

Interestingly I get:
Bind mounting all required parts
NFSROOT /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir mounted
Config space /srv/fai/config/ mounted
Mirror /srv/fai/debian/ mounted
Trying mount --bind /tmp/tmp.vvccSG8734 
/tmp/fai-cd.Wa8712/live/filesystem.dir/etc/apt/sources.list
/tmp/tmp.vvccSG8734: ASCII text
/tmp/fai-cd.Wa8712/live/filesystem.dir/etc/apt/sources.list: directory
mount: Not a directory

how come the sources.list file appears as a directory all of a sudden? 
Could this be something to do with the way the rest of it is mounted?
