What version of the Cygwin DLL are you using?
I believe the answer in the FAQ that you wre following is slightly incorrect
(will verify and correct if necessary). Meanwhile try this slightly modified
solution:
For each subkey under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus
Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2:
Change the flags values to 0x0a (decimal 10).

Chris
