[Cialug] overlay mounts

How about have the cron job do the file move, unmount, and remount all at one time?  Then there would be even less time that the cloud directory files would be unavailable.

A quick dirty low hanging fruit solution until a better one is found would be to set up a cron job to check if a folder or file is there, and if not it means things have become unmounted and if so then remount things?
