It is now :-)

I run with my home directory on the 'd:' drive and, thus, had to muck
around with the mount points for root, as you suggested.  With root
mapped to d: everything works fine.

As an aside, is there a FAQ for, or can anyone address the whole drive
issue?  How does the shell handle drive designators, how does the mount
information get handled, at what level, and do these mount points get
seen by non-cygwin apps, etc, etc?

Thanks,

  Dave
