First, this has nothing to do with cygdrive. You'll get the same message from any file or directory in any mounted or unmounted file system if you don't have access to it. I'd also suggest that "screw up" is a colloquial term that really doesn't define the behavior you're seeing very well. I'd say that it's fair to call the message returned a bit misleading. Anyway, I doubt phrasing is all that important. If you feel there's a problem here that needs immediate attention, you might want to consider a patch. If you just wanted to report behavior, consider it done. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
