Just replied to that thread:

Hi guys, I'm in Burkina now, fresh out of Mali, and had no trouble whatsoever clearing to bike for Mali. The carnet is not valid there (neither in Burkina), and a laisser passer can be obtained at the first police station (learned this from fellow travellers, was not necessary for the bike). I crossed inyo Mali north of Nioro (the road from Ayoun in Mauritania).
