OK, I see what you're doing.  I thought this might be what you were driving
at.  You're trying to use the wrong tools to limit access.  Even if you 
could unmount the drives in question, there's nothing to stop the user 
from remounting them as they like.  You need to use file access permissions,
either through Windows or Cygwin (with ntsec set) to make this work as you 
want.
