Looks like this script was written for python2 (in 2018!) and then never updated:

Hm, well I actually do have /run/user/1000/doc. That error must have been caused because the script was not mounting /run/user/1000/doc, it was mounting /run/user/b'1000'/doc. Oops. :) I'll let you decide whether it's still worth checking if that exists.

Yeah, this is an issue that is happening in the WPE Debug test bot (and can happen if the dir does not exist).
