One final note on this:
At Jeremy's suggestion, I tried changing the way /cygdrive is mounted. As
Administrator I changed /etc/fstab to read
//vega/repository /repos smbfs binary,noacl 0 0
none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,noacl,user 0 0
Mount now shows

$ mount

If instead, I map F: to /cygdrive/c with the following entry in /etc/fstab
F: /cygdrive/f smbfs binary,noacl 0 0
mount shows
$ mount
C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin on /

Thanks for the reply and clarification. I have made the obvious change in
my mounts to get around this problem. However, there has been a change in
behavior between 1.5 and 1.7. I have 1.7.7 installed on Windows Server
2003 SP2.
The mount table shows
$ mount
//vega/repository on

THIS IS INCONSTENT BEHAVIOR. Cygwin 1.5 did not have this behavior.
I somehow doubt that. I'm just not sure

There is no doubt that this behavior changed from 1.5 to 1.7. The instant I
upgraded from 1.5 to 1.7.7, build scripts that test for the abilty to write
to the directories in F: instantly started reporting the directories were
not writeable using test -w, yet you can still create and write files
