} Is there some magic reason it has to total 60 seconds?

Oh, it's because not all versions of "ls" will show file times down to
the second, so we have to wait a full minute.  But that would mean
waiting one minute between creating and accessing the file, not just
between the runs of "ls".  

So what we need is to first determine whether {mount || /sbin/mount}
is going to return useful mount attribute information, and then do the
60-second sleep only if we can't trust it.

Wild guess without actually attempting to set up mock follows.  This
also handles the case where mount is neither in $PATH nor in /sbin.
Still breaks if "ls" is not in $PATH, but that seems unlikely.
