I don't think that "ls /c/" should work. Based on your mountpoints, "ls 
/c/" should list the contents of the "c" subdirectory in your cygwin 
directory, since C:\cygwin is mounted to "/".

I am currently using 1.3.3-2 and I can't do "ls /c/" or "ls /e/", they 
both say "No such file or directory".

You can check the mailing list archives for how to change your default 
cygdrive prefix so you can address all your drives as "//c" or "//e" 
(IIRC, you change the default prefix to "/" to do this). I don't know if 
you can change the default cygdrive prefix to "" (nothing), so root 
would be somewhat equivalent to "My Computer". Then "ls /c/" and "ls 
/e/" should both work. But I don't know if the cygdrive prefix can be 
nothing.

HTH,
Peter
