Right.  That looks good.  Hm, I'm not sure why you don't see anything.
Is it any different if you do 'ls //goddard/abiyani' without the 'net
use' (and Cygwin mount)?

What does 'cacls y:' say?

Reviewing your cygcheck output again, the only things I see "wrong" that
you might try are:

   1. Upgrade your installation or at least the cygwin package.

   2. Remove "CYGWIN=nontsec" from your environment, stop all Cygwin
      processes and then try starting bash again and do 'ls //goddard/abiyani'
      again.  It's possible there is a permissions type problem that's being
      incorrectly reported as a "No such..." error.  But I'm grasping a bit
      here.
