That is an unrelated issue.  This was caused by a shift that was done
even if there was no argument.  This is fixed by replacing with

   [ $# -gt 0 ] && shift

So I guess that you are still using an unpatched hvmount.  You have to
rerun make, since hvmount is generated from hvmount.in.

I tested with dash, too and it worked fine with 9 for the flock and for
the redirection.  With a redirection not matching the flock, it will still
run but it won't lock anymore.

Anyway, to understand my point I think that the best is to look at the
patch I commited:
