RE: rsh: "Permission denied" on file creation. Cygwin 1.3.3 on W2 K Adv Srv SP2.

Running mount gives me:

libx@SC-LIBPHARM01 ~ 
$ mount 
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) 
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) 
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) 
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)

These are also the mount points found in the registry at
HKLM\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\ (except for the
c:-mapping). I assume the registry mounts is the system mount table.

/home/libx is located in C:\cygwin\home\libx, so it is accessible through
the "/" mount point. I have no user mounts and the remote machine uses no
network shares.

Check the mount table on the remote machine.  The /home/libx path
must be accessible using the system mount table.  Logon w/o
authentication doesn't enable the user specific mount table.

That means, e.g. if /home is a mount point to D:\home, mount
should print

   D:\home on /home type system (binmode)
                         ^^^^^^
			 that's important

Another problem is that in the above example the drive letter
D: must be a globally accessible drive, not a user specific drive
as it's often with Z: which is mounted when the user logs on.
