Well, I've just tested this myself, and the only error I get is the
normal permission denied on system volume information.
I should mention that I updated my cygwin installation on Thursday or
Friday last week..
There are two things I'm wondering though...
Where is this . in your PATH coming from? (it's in your cygcheck output)
Also, have you tried making the /cygdrive/X mounts binmode?
Mine show up in mount like:
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
Might be worth testing it that way?
