This fits with seeing a 'recent files' folder only as, under linux, mount points are simply directories, and if the mount failed, the operating system will simply use the directory in the root file system instead, and hence create a 'recent file' folder there. Alternatively they could be doing some union file system trick, but the net effect is similar.

Here is an entry of recently read on the main:
There is a
/home in the path that we can not see.
You may not OWN the folder anymore
