That doesn't work.  You must choose another path which doesn't
start with the cygdrive prefix, for instance:

Z: /mnt/z doesnt_matter binary,noacl 0 0

It has something to do with the share permissions, which disallow
WRITE_DAC permissions(*).  However, since I can't reproduce this problem,
I have really no idea what combination of share permissions and/or maybe
domain policy have this effect.
