diskutil -mountPoint option not working

My sincerest apologies if this post should be in another forum.

I've been using the diskutil command line program to to mount some encrypted CoreStorage volumes. Nearly everything is working fine; this does exactly what you'd expect:

Code: 
diskutil mount /dev/disk5
​
However, I can't seem to use the -mountPoint option. I get an error when I try this:

Code: 
diskutil mount -mountPoint /Users/personal/Downloads /dev/disk5
>> disk5 is a CoreStorage Logical Volume which failed to mount
​
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I am running macOS Sierra.
