When you set up a volume mount when running an image on Docker Machine or other non-native docker daemon, you have to make sure to use the right directory for this to work.

>From https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/containers/dockervolumes/#mount-a-host-directory-as-a-data-volume :
If you are using Docker Machine on Mac or Windows, your Docker daemon has only limited access to your OS X or Windows filesystem. Docker Machine tries to auto-share your /Users (OS X) or C:\Users (Windows) directory.

This means that unless you choose a mount inside your home directory, it will not work for you - the docker container will have a directory that is mounted inside docker machine, but not on your machine.

It would be good if we could make this clear to the user somehow - perhaps provide a tooltip or something.
