Just a WAG, but does that other user have user mounts that maybe override
the system ones?  Try rerunning setup as the same user that did the first
install, and reinstall, say, the 'man' package.  See if it works for that
user...

I'm assuming, of course, that you ran 'mount' as the original installing
user.
