Actually, that was not what I was suggesting at all. Rather I was 
suggesting that you add the Windows version of '/usr/bin' to your 
system wide PATH setting in Windows. The error you were getting 
suggests that cygwin1.dll cannot be found for some reason and this
would ensure that the path is not the problem (of course if the path
is not the problem, I'm not sure what is). Adding '/usr/sbin' or '/usr/bin'
to your shell's path isn't going to help you very much I expect.

Yeah but like I said, this is less interesting because this is the path 
in your current shell, which isn't going to be the same path as the service
sees.

That just means that it's been installed already.

OK. So what does the following command show you?
"ls -l /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services | egrep '(nfs|portmap|mount)'"
And these:
cygrunsrv -Q mountd
cygrunsrv -Q nfsd
cygrunsrv -Q portmap
