Vista: mount/umount -s permission denied

[Dick Repasky <rrepasky at lack dot ucs dot indiana dot edu>]

On Windows Vista Enterprise, I consistently receive "permission denied" 
errors when using cygwin mount/umount commands on system mounts 
(mount/umount -s ...).  I cannot mount novel system mount points (e.g., 
mount -s -b C:\\bonga /usr/local) or unmount existing system mount points 
(e.g., umount -s /usr/lib). The same is true from the cygwin bash prompt, 
from within a cygwin bash script, from the windows command prompt 
(C:\cygwin\bin\mount -s ...) or from within a windows .bat file.

The system is a single-user system, and my identity is that under which 
setup.exe was run to install cygwin.

I have not had this issue with cygwin under XP.

User mounts (mount/umount -u) work just fine for me on Vista.

Are system mounts supposed to be unmutable?  If so, oh.  If not, is there 
a work-around, or what have I done wrongly?

Thanks,

Dick
