I can't reproduce this:

$ net use H: <blah>
$ mount -o exec H: /home/rmainz
$ cd /home/rmainz/tmp
$ cp /bin/cat.exe .
$ mkdir baz
$ echo foo > baz/bar
$ /home/rmainz/tmp/cat $PWD/baz/bar
foo

Looks like your mount point is only temporary, i. e., you created it
with mount at runtime in your shell (as I did above).  If you add it to
your fstab file, e. g., /etc/fstab.d/rmainz, it will be persistent.

The problem here is this: To allow debugging bugs in Cygwin itself,
strace is a MingW executable.  As a non-Cygwin executable, it does not
have access to the Cygwin-specific shared memory region containing
mount points.

Thus, it reads the mount points from the /etc/fstab and
/etc/fstab.d/$USER files.  If the mount point is missing in these files,
strace can't use it.
