First, your mounts are non-standard which leads me to believe that either:

   1. You didn't use setup.

   2. You did use setup but then you changed things around and remounted 
      things manually.

Either way, this is non-standard and is probably not something which will
inspire this list to offer allot of pertinent debugging help.  As you suggest,
there is more than one way to configure things but because of this 
flexibility, there is complexity.  Setup is designed to abstract away that 
complexity, albeit at the cost of some flexibility.  If you don't like the 
simplicity that setup gives you, that's fine but you're pretty much on your 
own to debug your own environment then, since no one else has access to your 
system to see what you did.

My advice is to reinstall Cygwin via setup in a new location and migrate 
anything you need from your current installation (i.e. personalized config
files, etc) to the new one.  Then get rid of the old one and any pointers 
to it.  Once you've done that, you should have a consistent environment 
which works.  If that's not the case, consult the FAQ for the next proper 
course of action.

Good luck,
