There is no problem in the above commands. Both pathnames specify 
existing registry keys, but 'regtool get' reads registry values, which 
don't exist in this case.

The following should work:

$ regtool list '/HKLM/SOFTWARE/Cygnus Solutions/Cygwin/mounts v2'
/
/usr/bin
/usr/lib
cygdrive prefix
cygdrive flags

$ regtool get '/HKLM/SOFTWARE/Cygnus Solutions/Cygwin/mounts v2/cygdrive 
prefix'
/cygdrive
