So your 'rootvolume' is aida i.e. that is the volume already mounted at
/coda, and you are trying to mount it again within /coda.

If this where to succeed you would end up with the logical equivalent of
a 'hardlinked directory' where /coda/aida == /coda, and there would be
an infinite path,

    /coda/aida/aida/aida/aida/aida/adia/....

Just do 'cfs listvolume /coda' and you'll see that #aida is already
mounted.
