No, WJFFM. There's some sort of mismatch, either in the username or in the paths. Did you just copy /etc files from your 32 bit to your 64 bit installation, perhaps? Which fstab is the problem, the global /etc/fstab or the user-specific /etc/fstab.d/$USER? What are the permissions on /etc, /etc/fstab, /etc/fstab.d, and /etc/fstab.d/$USER? What is the content of the fstab files? What's the output of `id'? What's the output of `grep $USER passwd'? Last but not least, stop all Cygwin processes, start cmd.exe, cd to C:\cygwin64\bin (assuming you installed into the default path) and then run `strace -o fstab-test.trace ./echo foo'. This creates the file /bin/fstab-test.trace. Copy it into a reply to this thread.
