Yep. User mounts are stored in the 'user' registry hive, where as system mounts
are stored in the 'system' hive. Either change your mounts with

  mount -fb C:/Cygwin /
  mount -fb C:/Cygwin/bin /usr/bin
  mount -fb C:/Cygwin/lib /usr/lib

Or re-run setup.exe and change the install type from "Just Me" to "All Users".
