So, I'll clear up a few things for the noobs.
1. /mnt is actually a valid storage location. Now, proper use of /mnt dictates that you don't actually use the /mnt location for data but instead use mountpoints only. Any zpools will simply be mounted in the /mnt folder. But, it's possible to copy files to /mnt. It fills up /mnt and you start getting errors(sound familiar?). I just did this on my system to prove that you can do it. It gets ugly fast and you should fix it. Since mountpoints use space on /mnt, if you run out of space it's possible for your pool to not mount because it doesn't fit. Haha.
To solve this you'll have to go to the CLI and move or delete any files or folders that exist in /mnt to your pool.
2. How your files ended up there is anyone's guess. My guess is someone screwed up a CLI file move or copy and put them there. Since FreeNAS won't let you share out /mnt itself it's obvious that user error has caused it(or at least, it didn't let ME when I tried to do it with 9.2.0). I'd guess that someone was doing things on the CLI they shouldn't have been and they are solely responsible for the problems.
3. ewhac is a moron. Why? because I'm supposed to yell at him for 2 things. So here's #1.
4. and here's #2! ;)
