Did you ssh in over the USB cable or over Wifi?
Yes, it makes a difference, and those messages look like you ssh'd in over Wifi while the USB cable was still connected, holding the user storage partition externally exported (making it (and /mnt/us/*everything*) unreachable).
Note the 'root' in the mnt
root command.
That means the 'root' file system.
But that also is limited to a single file system, the permissions do not cross file system boundaries.
Translation:
/mnt/us is on a different partition / backing store / file system than the / file system.
They are not even the same type of file system (ext3 vs fat32).
PS: Read note posted above - this utility was not intended to work with the 'Androidized' file structures used by the PW4 and KOA2.
Note that this add-in have been posted for over 18 months with only 200 downloads by the millions who own Kindles.
So updating this unused utility for the two newest models is really far, far, far down my list of things to waste my life on.
