I've got /var in the root filesystem. What I would like to do is move

happening and find a way round this?

This is happening because you are mounting a new, empty partition on /var, which hides everything underneath it. You will need to move all of the existing /var to the new partition, and that's something you probably want to do in single-user mode.
