Can you debug it? Maybe we miss something obvious.

Seems it fails to write the uid map.
Is the order of setgroups vs uid_map correct ?

What's the exact relation between user and mnt namespace ?
Why do I need an own user ns for private mnt ns ? (except for the suid
bit, which I wanna get rid of anyways).

mount related system calls are root-only. Therefore you need the user
namespace to become a root in your own little world. :)

I'm looking for a way to do that w/o being root (or something similar).
Actually, I don't like to change the user namespace, as it would cause
a lot of trouble w/ the /dev/cap[hash|use] devices, which I'm using for
user switching (as said: I'm going to get rid of suid completely).
