Nor was I claiming that it did.  I was just pointing out that we have to
work around this problem in Cygwin.

Do any of the directories mentioned above exist?

I.e., does u:\disks exist?  u:\disks\cygdown?  u:\disks\cygdown\latest?
u:\disks\cygdown\latest\ash?

When you do get this to work on your local disk are you mirroring a similar
structure, i.e., c:\disks\cygdown\latest\ash ?  Where the same directories
exist on c: as exist on u:?
