This looks like something is going wrong when running Cygwin programs 
('mount', at least) from a DOS prompt. Does this produce any output?

Z:\> C:\Cygwin\bin\env | C:\Cygwin\bin\grep Z:

What happens if you run the file from a different directory? Does the 
warning always reflect the current directory?
