You're missing something but it's not obvious what it is. Try a few 
variations on this, seeing if you can eliminate things like the mount 
table and so on. Perhaps you want to run strace on bash to see if you can 
see where it has trouble. Looking at the output of cygcheck -s -r -v might
help too.
