Hmm... it looks like my initial diagnosis was wrong. To get the old mounts
back as they were, use a dos box and cd into e:\cygwin\bin. Now type:

mount -b c:\cygwin\bin /bin

After that's back, go back into cygwin and do:

ls -l /bin/sh
/bin/sh

You should simply get something like the following output:

bash-2.03$ ls -l /bin/sh
-rwxr-xr-x   1 jlarmour Administ    66560 Jan 18 02:17 /bin/sh
bash-2.03$ /bin/sh
$

Give it a go, and let us know what happens.
