Mount weirdness... (or operator error :)

[Stephen C. Biggs]

I have read all the relevant FAQs but can't figure this one out...

I have my cygwin installation mounted as binary.

from a dosprompt:
<cygdrive>:\cygwin>bin\mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
<cygdrive>:\cygwin\bin       /usr/bin            system       binmode
<cygdrive>:\cygwin\lib       /usr/lib            system       binmode
<cygdrive>:\cygwin           /                   system       binmode

Straight vanilla cygwin.

Then I do:
<cygdrive>:\cygwin>md dossrc
<cygdrive>:\cygwin>bin\mount -t -s usr\local\src\gcc ./dossrc
bin/mount: ./dossrc: Invalid argument

Is it possible to do what I want to do here?  Is it that I am trying to 
remount an already binary mounted subdirectory as text mode??

What is the invalid argument?  Is it a permission problem?
