Trying to make a directory from systemd results in a 127 error code

Great to hear!

1: NOTHING IS MOUNTED - IS THERE A LOG?

I have been fiddling around with this, trying to achieve a mount. The system builds, but the mount is never actually done. Below is what I have written (info from the manual on What = and Where =). Is there a log somewhere to see some output from systemd trying to do the mount? I did look in /etc/systemd/system to see if I could find traces of a .mount file (as described here). I assume that no .mount file for my mount was found due to the mount failing.

    systemd.user.mounts = {
        syncDir = {
            Unit = {
                Description = "Example description";
            };

            Mount = {
                What = "/home/dob/nextcloud/syncDir";
                Where = "/home/dob/syncDir";
            };
        };
    };

Note, I also saw in the issue in home-manager for supporting mount units that Type = "fuse.bindfs"; was used. Not sure if that is the reason for my mount not working. However, I would love to check some log files, to see what is written there.

NOTE:
I tried looking for errors using journalctl -u syncDir and journalctl --since "1 hour ago", with no luck. I can not see any entries for a failed mount.

2: REQUIRESMOUNTSFOR - SEEMS NIFTY!

I am new to mounting, but I found some info on RequiresMountsFor:

Takes a space-separated list of absolute paths. Automatically adds dependencies of type Requires= and After= for all mount units required to access the specified path.

And, I found a page on mounting the file system in a certain order. So, I guess that means that if I have multiple mounts, I can add RequiresMountsFor = "/home/dob/syncDir"; in the Unit section, for the mounts to depend on this one. Seems nifty.
