Setup gives you the choice to install "for me" or "for all" at one
point.  If you've choosen "for me" the Cygwin mount points aren't
visible for any other user.  Login as the user which installed
Cygwin and change all mount points to system mount points using
the `mount' command.  mount --help will give you a clue.
