Make sure that you mount the root directory on each machine. Assuming you have
Cygwin located on \\foo\cygwin and you have \\foo\cygwin mapped to drive z you
would then need to `z:\bin\mount -s z:/ /'. Other mounts you may wish to do
are:
z:\bin\mount -s z:/bin /usr/bin
z:\bin\mount -s z:/lib /usr/lib
