The wierd part (for beginners) is that the directory permissions change 
depending what's mounted there.  But it makes sense when you get used to it.

Why would you like a "mount point" file type?  How would it be different 
than a directory?  Other than to remind you to mount things there rather 
than store files there (which you can achieve by naming it something 
like... I don't know, /mnt).  <g>
