No, WJFFM.  There's some sort of mismatch, either in the username or in
the paths.  Did you just copy /etc files from your 32 bit to your 64 bit
installation, perhaps?

Which fstab is the problem, the global /etc/fstab or the user-specific
/etc/fstab.d/$USER?

What are the permissions on /etc, /etc/fstab, /etc/fstab.d, and
/etc/fstab.d/$USER?  What is the content of the fstab files?  What's the
output of `id'?  What's the output of `grep $USER passwd'?

Last but not least, stop all Cygwin processes, start cmd.exe, cd to
C:\cygwin64\bin (assuming you installed into the default path) and then
run `strace -o fstab-test.trace ./echo foo'.  This creates the file
/bin/fstab-test.trace.  Copy it into a reply to this thread.


Thanks,
Corinna
