If I read the man page correctly:

    -m, --mount-commands
              write mount commands to replace user and system mount 
points and
              cygdrive prefixes

Since all this script does is take this output of mount -m and parse it....
Is "mount -m"  is broken then?

Am I not understanding the man page or am I so dense that I'm missing 
something?
