Thanks.  So it won't be treated like the MS NFS client, that's good news.
Rather, it will be treated like FAT (in 1.5 and 1.7), which is the safest
fallback.

Anyway, that doesn't help with your copy problem.  This can't be solved
without more details (when, how, debug output, the usual routine).

Yes, that's a bug in the current 1.7.  I'll fix it.

No.  In 1.5 you have registry mount points which point from /usr/bin to the
underlying Win32 path.  1.7 uses an fstab file.  SInce you don't have an
fstab file, you don't have the /usr/bin and /usr/lib mount points.  I wrote
in my first reply how to fix this.
