A directory need not be empty to mount anything on it. In fact, in my
/floppy directory I have a file named "No floppy currently mounted.", so
I will see this if I type `ls /floppy' when there is no mounted floppy.
The problem probably is that there is a process which has /dev/rex as
current directory, or has a file in /dev/rex opened, which makes /rex
`busy'.
