The daemons are apparently started before the NFS export is accessed.
At least, the windows "services" report shows them as "started".
The logon Is .\nfs

>Those should see the following mount points according to cygcheck3.out:
I don't have /usr/bin or /usr/lib in exports, but I think you are saying
that if
I did, I could access them via NFS.

>When you run bash before starting the daemons you said you see these
>mounts instead:
I goofed, and didn't initially notice the difference between (user) and
(auto) in
the mount command response. When I do the mount manually to correct
for the missing mount, it shows (user). When I reboot and run bash first,
I see (auto) as expected.
/etc/fstab is empty (except for comments), as is /etc/fstab.d
