OK, I tried doing it from explorer, the MS command prompt and bash.
After mounting the partition, the mount point works correctly for things
like -I option in gcc and cygpath. So I believe I have done the correct
thing. It's the
find command that doesn't work. I even get stranger results if I attempt
something like mount D:/topdirectory /home. Find generates the following
output:

find: /home/filename: No such file or directory

for every file in topdirectory.

I have 20.1 installed.

Luckily it does appear I can use cygpath in install script to cope with
these problems.
It converts the paths correctly to win32 format which work with find and
tcl.

I consider this sort of behaviour as a bug. Before I consider filing a bug
report or maybe
trying to fix it, has anyone managed to get find to work across mounted
partitions?

Cheers ....
