Pete,

I've found that if you have a single character win32 directory entry 
that debash can't form the path correctly.

eg:
mkdir c:\\t

mount c:\\t /t

When the path comes back you get a strange charcter after the c:\t in 
the path name.  I changed the name to c:\\text and mounted with /text 
and things worked fine.

FYI:
This is a good way to add the \r for printing purposes.  Direct the 
output from stdout to a mount point that is text!=binary and like magic 
you have the needed \r.
