FYI, the output of "mount" should show that (i.e., if /bin is a system
mount, you've installed for "All Users", and if it's a user mount, then it
was "Just Me").

No.  You want to pass the "-F" option to nfsd, not cygrunsrv.  What you
should do is read the output of "cygrunsrv --help" and figure out how to
pass that option to nfsd (you will need to reexecute the "cygrunsrv -I ..."
command).
