Saber,

I'm assuming you're only talking about auxiliary mounts, and that the main
mounts ("/", "/usr/bin", and "/usr/lib") are the same for all bash
instances.

Cygwin only supports two mount tables at a time for each user (one system
table and one user table).  The system table is shared among all users.
Aside from the fact that (as Rolf has pointed out) you don't really *need*
to mount anything, the only way you can get separate mount tables in
separate bash sessions is by running them as different users.  You could
use either "ssh" or "at /interactive" to switch user contexts.  Don't
forget to use "mount -u", or you'll be changing the system mount table.

P.S. Your "Shift" key seems to be malfunctioning...
