It's mounted in textmode.
Best thing (IMO) is 
mount -b -s 'c:\WINNT\TEMP' /tmp
If you have your temp directory anywhere else, replace the path with your 
tempdir. Or (to keep the cygwin tempfile in the cygwin dir)
mount -b -s 'c:\cygwin\tmp' /tmp

This is ok. I guess it's the textmode mount which is the problem.
