Better try reading the man page again:
-f Causes everything to be done except for the actual system call;

In other words, "mount -f" does *not* mount the directory.

To verify that a directory is mounted, look in /etc/mtab

Hi,

Sorry, that was my typo. It is -t not -f.

Also, I have verify /etc/mtab and it show that the NFS directory is mounted
(rw).
