First, since you have /tmp as v:\\tmp, this may be causing some difficulty.
It may be trying to interpret this path as a UNC name.  Might be interesting
to see if the behavior if you correct this.  Second, the mount code has
been completely rewritten.  This bug may still exist, be different, or be
cured!
