I think I have found and fixed the problem.
It was indeed that C: was mounted in binmode. After I did this:
505~> mount -f -t c: /
506~> mount
Device Directory Type Flags
C:\bin /usr/bin user binmode
C:\lib /usr/lib user binmode
d: /d user textmode
f: /f user textmode
c: / user textmode
e: /e user textmode
my "Permission denied" problems, as mentionned below, went away!
I think this should be added to the FAQ and/or other relevant documents.
