Did you create a c:\home directory before you did the mount?  Having
that empty directory on the parent drive makes a big difference in how
well some commands work, which is why mount warns you about them.

TCL itself doesn't use cygwin for stuff like that.  It goes right to
the Win32 calls, so you have to do conversions all over the place.
