mount: Mounting /media/mmc1/XFCE.img on /usr/local failed: Block device required

I know you did not used to be able to do mount -o loop on 770 and early n800, losetup used to be there, I have n800 with latest OS, are you running Hacker edition or what OS?

is losetup on you box?
How about something like this?

losetup /dev/loop0 /media/mmc1/XFCE.img
mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /usr/local
