I think I have found and fixed the problem.
It was indeed that C: was mounted in binmode.  After I did this:

505~> mount -f -t c: /
506~> mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
C:\bin              /usr/bin            user         binmode
C:\lib              /usr/lib            user         binmode
d:                  /d                  user         textmode
f:                  /f                  user         textmode
c:                  /                   user         textmode
e:                  /e                  user         textmode

my "Permission denied" problems, as mentionned below, went away!
I think this should be added to the FAQ and/or other relevant documents.
