Hi,

some changes to 0.7.3 broke the mount points. We try to keep backward 
compatibility but sometimes that does not happen :S

I will try to fix this and release a 0.7.4 version.

	"none /lxc/test1/dev/pts  devpts defaults  0 0"

becomes:

	"none dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0"


Thanks for reporting
