Marco,

I suspect that you are losing sight of the big picture. When you look at
"bash: id: command not found" 
you are looking at one of the downstream consequences of the original
problem.
Or, that is, of the most upstream problem that I know of. When /bin isn't
mounted on /usr/bin, of course id will not be found, since $PATH points to
/usr/bin,
and /usr/bin is empty.
I believe what needs to be studied is why an access from a remote system
to an nfs file system before opening a bash prompt causes the automatic
mount of /usr/bin and /usr/lib to be skipped.
When I open a bash prompt before accessing the nfs file system, everything
works as it should.
cygcheck2.out was created when the system was working correctly.
I don't believe it's useful, but here is a cygcheck when the mount has been
skipped:
$ /bin/cygcheck -s -v -r > 
http://old.nabble.com/file/p34043774/cygcheck3.out cygcheck3.out 
It looks like it's mostly just missing stuff it couldn't find.
