Hmm, this is sort of expected, since entries like d:/ and //server/path
aren't found in the mount table, so Cygwin has no way of knowing the
default mode...  I'm not sure if CYGWIN=binmode applies here, either.  You
*could* mount //server/path as some local directory, in which case there
will be an entry in the mount table with the associated flags.  That's the
only thing I can think of at the moment, sorry...
