Remove the user mounts using `umount -U' and you're done.

This might be a result of traverse checking being switched on.  Try
if you see the e drive when setting the environment variable CYGWIN
so that it contains "notraverse" and read the user's guide about the
CYGWIN setting "traverse".  The best way to solve that would be to
revisit the permissions on the toplevel directory on drive e.
