Cygwin is not Linux.  Cygwin's 'mount' isn't even close to Linux's in
semantics.  Cygwin's 'mount' doesn't do much more than map POSIX paths to
Win32 paths.

As Corinna said, you shouldn't try to use 'chroot' under Cygwin.  If you
do use it, you'll find you have problems.  Don't expect much and you won't
be disappointed. ;-)
