Remote shares are assumed to be non-executable by default for speed
considerations.

You can fix this by mounting the share with the -x option:

mount -x -f //foo/bar /bar

Mounting the share in that manner will cause cygwin (and setup
postinstall scripts) to consider everything in /bar to be consdired
executable.  It might be better to mount any specific directories that
you know will contain executable content with -x:

mount -x -f //foo/c/cygwin/bin /bin
mount -x -f //foo/c/cygwin/sbin /sbin
mount -x -f //foo/c/cygwin/usr/sbin /usr/sbin

etc.
