Because I didn't know about it, and the non-busybox "mount -?" and mount 
manpage don't mention it?  (They mention --bind and --move and such,  but 
don't mention bind or move in the -o option list?  Yes, the man page has a 
mount option list, but bind and move aren't in it.)

Having tried it, though, it works fine.  Thanks. :)

So the undocumented way of doing it works in busybox, but the documented way 
does not.  Hmmm...  Calls for a man page patch, I think...
