Hmm, so this message doesn't show up when you do "bash --login" from a
bash shell?  Interesting...

Try 'bash --login -i -c "echo Hi"'.  If that produces the "missing
kpsexpand" error, pipe both stdout and stderr of that command through
"grep kpsexpand" (i.e.,

bash --login -i -c "echo Hi" 2>&1 | grep kpsexpand

).  If not, see what's different in the way your "cygwin.bat" invokes
bash.

Umm, I meant

bash --login -x -c "echo Hi" 2>&1 | less

Sorry if this was unclear.

Reinstall it and see if you still get the error.  I have a feeling your
postinstall scripts didn't run properly because of the screwed-up mounts.
In fact, run

find /etc/postinstall -name \*.done | sed 's/\.done$//' | xargs cygcheck -f | uniq

Those are the packages that will likely benefit from a reinstall in your
case.

HTH,
