title: Docker Volume not mounting any files
body: <p>I'm trying to mount my source files to a directory in docker located at /var/dynamo. I'd like to be able to run Docker locally and use my local files as I am working.</p>
  
  <p>with the run command: </p>
  
  <pre><code>docker run -v $(pwd):/var/dynamo -d -t -p 8001:8001 --name dynamo davesrepo/dynamo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with my  <strong>Dockerfile</strong> </p>
  
  <pre><code>FROM python:3.5.1
  WORKDIR /var/dynamo
  RUN pip3 install tornado
  EXPOSE 8001
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I bash into the container <code>docker exec -it dynamo /bin/bash</code> and run <code>ls -la</code> the directory <strong>is empty!</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>root@7d3d338891aa:/var/dynamo# ls -la
  total 4
  drwxr-xr-x  2 root root   40 Dec 29 03:37 .
  drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Dec 29 03:36 ..
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Running <code>docker inspect dynamo</code> shows the directory mounted properly</p>
