I've never had ls say it can't read ., but I do remember having path 
completion problems. I think that's why I use symbolic links instead of 
mount for drives; something like:

cd /
ln -s /cygdrive/c

etc. Then I just cd /c and seldom have to use /cygdrive at all. I'm sure 
somebody will explain why this is a bad idea, which is one reason I'm 
responding here. But it does seem to muddle through...
