ns is showing you the best name it has
for the resource in question. if you did
bind /n/ftp/dir /n/tmp,
then it can't tell you that you did
mount '#s/ftp' /n/tmp
because that's not accurate--'#s/ftp' would
get you /n/ftp, not /n/ftp/dir.
so it shows you /n/ftp/dir, because that
is the name that was used at the time,
even if that name no longer means
the same thing.
