you shouldn't need -o unix,trans=unix -- just trans=unix.
Double check the 9pnet module is installed as well as the 9p module
(it should be automagically in the kernel version you are running).
Also, a good tip when trying to figure out whats going south when v9fs
is involved is to add debug=0xffff into your mount options and post
the respective sections of your /var/log/messages.

Just tried it on 2.6.33-rc4 and it mounted fine
mount -t 9p /tmp/ns.root.localhost:10/acme /mnt -o trans=unix,uname=root
