Hmm, weird. I have no idea. The thing is, it could open "\\.\tape0'
so the handle should be ok. I even tried renaming my tape drive to
/dev/[n]t0 either for testing. I have no problems.

Could you compile a debug version of mt and debug it?

Oh, btw, did you succeed in reading or writing on the tape using
Cygwin tar/cpio/dd/something?

Did you use the same user account when creating the mount point
and when calling mt? If you're using a ssh/rsh/telnet session
to connect to the box, do you see the mount points for the tapes
there, too?
