Hmm, interesting. I wonder how that failed. Any chance you can run
this with debug logging in systemd turned on (i.e. "systemd-analyze
log-level debug", then retry to start the service). Anything
interesting in the logs about the attempted but failed start?

Do you have any weird mounts in place? By "weird" I mean fuse stuff or
such? Does it work if you unmount them?
