That's -ing Finder's fault.

I ported AMD to OS X a while back and cranked it up, and set it up
to do the mounting magic... and as soon as Finder noticed there
were network filesystems it didn't expect it tossed a bunch of
completely WRONG network icons on the desktop (including, at one
point, one called '/') and went catatonic. When I restarted Finder
it went out and found those non-network shares again and pulled
the blanket over its head. It did the same when I logged out and
whan I rebooted. I had to boot single-user and stop AMD from starting
up to

Finder has this model of How Network Shares Work that is programmed
into its sorry Carbon-based DNA and this model completely fails to
make contact with any rational design at any point, and you can't
do anything about it.
