This is your problem.  You cannot install user mounts and then run
system services, otherwise it will not see the mounts.

It seems like you might have copied and pasted those steps from some
website somewhere.  That's precisely the reason why we recommend
ignoring all such sites - they invariably give you misleading or wrong
advice.

(It would probably be a good addition for ssh-host-config to check for
user mounts and bail or offer to remount them... this seems to come up a
lot.)
