I haven't specifically looked in the documentation to determine if it was supported, but we use mount points on our SQL 2005 clusters and they are sources for clones and snaps using RM 5.1.2.
In our setup I use a small LUN for the root drive (usually just a couple of GB), in this case let's say the G: drive, then use mount points under that for the different LUNs for SQL data files. So G:\DATA1, G:\DATA2, G:\DATA3, G:\DATA4 are all 300GB LUNs for the SQL data files. I do the same thing for the SQL Logs and Tempdb.
I have had no issues using mount points as replication sources.

I'm just wondering why I thought that is isn't supported....
RM with SAN Copy Full/ incremental also supports mount points?

I have done this on clariion and symmetrix arrays. No problems with either one.
