Hello,
You can't use the mount --bind call to mount more than one directory or
file at a time. In other words, you can only specify a single source and
a single target. If you want to have all subdirectories available in a
single directory, I suggest using the "ln" command to create symbolic
links to the directories you are attempting to access.

Equal causes can produce very unequal effects.
