I have now scanned for all files that have '/etc/mtab' located in them
and I am working through them one by one to try and see where mtab is
being given its information from.

I am hoping that one of these files is either a config file or a file
that uses a config file, which with luck will be able to modified.

I like a challenge however, it is always helpful to know if I am
actually heading in the right direction. Do I seem to be using good
logic to track this down? Have I gone on a wild goose chase as my answer
is likely to be found in the kernel source?
