There was no mount table in my registry. I went into regedit and exported
the entire Cygnus key from HKLM\Software
When is that created? Is there something I can do to force Cygwin to create
that key?

The mount table is stored in the registry. You must not have copied
it correctly.
However, you really should just use "mount" to duplicate the directory
structure on the other machines. Copying the registry keys bypasses
Cygwin and we make no guarantees that the registry keys will remain
the same between releases.
We do, of course, try to ensure that "mount" and "umount" continue
to work as expected.
