Unable to set /mnt/* as user-dirs.dirs

I would like to set the root of some of my mounts as the user-dirs, however when using the root it returns nothing. Setting root mount $ xdg-user-dirs-update --set VIDEOS /mnt/videos/ $ cat /home/hutber/.config/user-dirs.dirs | grep XDG_VIDEOS_DIR XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="/mnt/videos/" Trying to view files in videos:

hutber@hutber:~$ ll /home/hutber/Videos/
