Don't do that.  The /cygdrive prefix is the default POSIX path prefix
for drives mounted by Windows.  Any drive X: is automatically available
as /cygdrive/x.  You can change the cygdrive prefix in /etc/fstab (I'm
using /mnt, for instance), but you can't manually mount stuff under the
cygdrive prefix path.  Ths *is* documented:

  http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#cygdrive

Remove the above mount points, exit your Cygwin shells, and try
again.  If the H and Z drives still don't show up under your /cygdrive
prefix, they are probably not really mounted in your Windows session.
