CygWin file access puzzle

[Randall R Schulz]

Karl,

The answer is in your cygcheck output:

...
C:\CygWin\bin  /usr/bin  system  binmode
C:\CygWin\lib  /usr/lib  system  binmode
C:\CygWin  /        system  binmode
...

You are not using "/cygdrive" as your unmounted volume prefix, you're using 
"/CygWin".

I think if you change that or use it in your ls and other commands, all 
will work as expected.
