Actually, it did work. By the way, how do I remove a translator?
`settrans /mnt' removes the passive[1] translator on /mnt
`settrans -a /mnt' removes the active[2] translator, but not the passive
translator. This means that the next time you access /mnt, a fresh
translator is started..
Other interesting options are `-g' (ask the active translator go away
(nicely) when you set the passive translator) and `-f' (force the
active translator to go a way). See `settrans --help' for more
information.

[1] The passive translator is recorded in the filesystem, and
specifies what program becomes the active translator when you access
the node.
[2] The active translator is the program actually running on top of
the node to provide its contents.
