No.. that is there problem is.  I think on the real mogile servers, the
devN directories actually correspond to mountpoints, so that code works.
If your devN directory is just another directory, it doesn't work quite
right.  If you want to fix your immediate problem, making a symlink
from /usage to /var/mogdata/devN/usage will work.. otherwise fix the
code to work in all cases :-)
