Yeah, if you are going to perform the mount from a bash shell,
remember that '\' is a special character.  Either use doubled
backslashes or "forward" slashes (as you've done).

I don't know what's causing the "Permission denied" unless you
can't write to the HKLM part of the registry.  Adding a '-u'
to the mount options may help.
