Hello!
Thank you Andy. That did indeed work. I still don't have any idea as
to why that did not occur to me. Probably the usual hackers excuse. I
checked and found the entire drive visible from inside the install's
cygdrive mount point.

And I believe I might have solved my SSH problems. More on that later.

Incidentally the next time you're visiting NYC Andy, I owe you and
Larry a meal at either of the two best delis in the business.
