That, plus possible limitations in the Amazon mount scripting, could have created the problems as described so far.

And a directory need not be empty in any *nix to be used as a mount point. Over-mounting just hides the existing directory contents from new access, which makes it more than a bit hard (as in impossible) to get rid of the previously written contents once the directory is over-mounted.
