Moving from textmode to binmode: mount: resource busy

I want to explore the possibility of using binmode instead of
textmode. I successfully changed the default to binmode. When I
tried changing the mode on "/usr/bin", in an MSDOS shell with:
mount -b -s d:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin
It said:
mount: /usr/bin: Device or resource busy
I'm doing this from the root directory of a different drive, and I've
killed every process that could possibly (AFAIK) have this open.
I'd appreciate some information about this.
When I get past this, what other issues should I expect, and can I
deal with them? For instance, what do I have to do with "pdksh" and
NTEmacs to work with this?
