Still no luck:

>From a network login:

  % mount -s -b //scooby/homes /homes
  mount: warning - /homes does not exist.
  % mount
  \\scooby\homes on /homes type system (binmode)
  C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
  C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
  C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
  Z: on /scooby type system (binmode)
  c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)
  % ls -l /homes
  /bin/ls: /homes: Permission denied
  % id
  uid=1006(bfriesen) gid=513(None)
  groups=0(Everyone),513(None),544(Administrators),545(Users)

However, the 'ls -l' works fine from a console window.

Any more ideas
