Problem

Since docker 1.3.0 / fig 1.0.0 (I upgraded both at the same time), I cannot fig up my projects without fig rm'ing before. If I do fig up on already existing (stopper) containers, volumes specified in fig.yml aren't remounted (default docker mounts instead, so empty dirs). fig rm && fig up recreates everything correctly but for locally built containers this is pretty time consuming.

Solution: Since docker 1.3.0 / fig 1.0.0 volumes are not mounted when fig up'ing existing containers

Low Risk

This also happens with docker 1.3.1 and fig 1.0.1. Even more weird is that if a container is ran using fig: [code block] The volumes are mounted just fine.
