No, it doesn't.  It allows to *access* the path, but the mount call
follows a somewhat different route.  You can only access the path
directly (a concenssion to a necessity which has no POSIX equivalent)
or, as you did, map the VSS volume to a drive letter.  The patch is not
in 1.5.25, btw., only in 1.7.0.
