/mnt may already have contents.  Try creating empty subdirectories and 
mounting to those.  I also believe mount can figure out the type of 
supported filesystems, so you shouldn't need to specify it.  Under Bash, 
try something like:

    ### untested Bash shell commands:

    # mkdir /mnt/foo

    # mount /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/foo


HTH,
