[issue2466] os.path.ismount doesn't work for NTFS mounts

[Ross Burton]

Ross Burton <ross at burtonini.com> added the comment:

Aha.  The contents of the mount point are only accessible by root:

$ stat /media/windows/..
stat: cannot stat `/media/windows/..': Permission denied

This falls into the except block, so false is returned.

If ismount() used os.path.dirname() instead of appending "..", then this
wouldn't happen.
