This is because acme and your terminal are running
in different name spaces.  You need to start upas/fs
in your profile, before rio, to make it appear everywhere.
Alternately, you can use the apparently undocumented -s
option to upas/fs to post a service file:

	upas/fs -f -s /pop/pop.gmx.net/my_user_name

and then execute

	Local mount /srv/upasfs.$user /mail/fs

in acme to access it.
