mount oddities - user or tool?

I have upgraded to the latest cygwin32.dll from Sergey Okhapkin. It solved many
of my little problems - hope most of the changes get into b19.
I am having problems with mount. I had previously done the following
mount d:\usr /usr
mount d:\devel /devel
and everything was fine - I got the following when I checked with mount
d:\usr /usr
d:\devel /devel
Various people on the list have suggested that mounts should be done binary so
I umounted and remounted
umount /devel
mount -b d:\devel /devel
umount /usr
mount -b d:\usr /usr
When I looked at the mount I got
d:usr /usr
d:devel /devel
This meant that my system would not work - it could never find /devel unless it
was in /.
I fixed this by a quick registry hack but what I really wanted to know is
what I did wrong or waht the system has gor wrong?
Thanks for any advice
Kevin
PS I am on NT/service pack 3
