Thanks, Corinna - the drive in question is a remote drive, my Windows
home share.

Neither suggestion had any effect.

I'm wondering if anything Cygwin-related in the Registry may have
changed somehow, since that's the only other place I know of where
settings reside.  If I wanted to have Cygwin re-write its related
Registry settings, what has to be installed via setup.exe in order to
cause this to happen?  Or, are there no settings in the Registry that
might affect mounts and permissions?

Our Windows Administrator has made no changes to the file server, and
he's quite competent, so nothing has changed there.
