That looks fine - it is a warning that /c didn't exist, but mount will
automatically create it. Again, see the man page for mount, as well as
the page in the User's Guide:

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mount

Note especially the "-f"  option, which will force mount to be silent when
creating mount directories.
