The above implies that your Cygwin installation is not correct. Due to
the default mounts (via setup.exe), /bin and /usr/bin should resolve
to the same directory. Try re-running setup.exe to fix your mounts.
If that does not work than try using mount/umount directly. Your mounts
should look something like:

$ mount
Device Directory Type Flags
C:\Cygwin\bin /usr/bin system binmode
C:\Cygwin\lib /usr/lib system binmode
C:\Cygwin / system binmode
...

As a last resort, there is always regedit/regedt32. The keys to whack are
under:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2

or:

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2

Only use 'tar' to unpack Cygwin packages, not 'winzip', because the
latter doesn't understand Cygwin's mount points and can (mistakenly)
create the separate /bin and /usr/bin directories. Been there, done that.
