Increase log level to see if Borg doesn't do things without running
into any warning or error condition.

Besides that: How do you remount or whatever ~/.cache exactly? There
might be some chicken-egg-probelm with when you execute Borg. Is
~/.cache created ever at all for the user for which Borg doesn't seem
to create it? Is that directory maybe availble in the default file
system instead of youre expected TMPFS?

Have a look at the environment variables:

> BORG_BASE_DIR
> BORG_CACHE_DIR

Just for your interest, as I'm new to Borg as well and found the
following pretty interesting/useful to avoid custom scripts for
execution itself.
