mt on NT

I have installed cygwin on a couple of Win2k machines, and everything
works great. But, I have had a couple of problems installing on NT.
The first was man, which I fixed according to instructions in the FAQ
(Sometime I would like to know why ash gets loaded sometimes and not
others.) The other problem is with mt.
When I try to manipulate the tape with
mt -f /dev/nt0 status
it responds
mt: '(null)' is not a tape device.
When I try
mt -f /dev/nt0 setblk 0
it responds
mt: '0' is not a tape device.
It's as if mt is looking at the fifth field for the device.
Any ideas?
