# It exists if I use the /cgydrive... method:

$ ll /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/lib/w32api

[...]

# But not regular ls:

$ ls /usr/lib/w32api
ls: /usr/lib/w32api: No such file or directory

# I don't know if the mount output helps at all:

$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount)
e: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode,noumount)
k: on /cygdrive/k type user (binmode,noumount)

I had an extra cygwin.dll in c:\mysql\bin, but I got rid of that and the 
same problem.


As far as permissions, here is a look through /cygdrive's eyes:

$ ll /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/lib
total 457
-rw-r--r--    1 dpbrowni None       408560 Apr 25  2001 libglui.a
-rw-r--r--    1 dpbrowni None        26402 Apr 25  2001 libgluix.a
drwxr-xr-x    2 dpbrowni None            0 Mar 20 16:58 mingw
drwxr-xr-x    2 dpbrowni None        32768 Mar 20 17:01 w32api

And the windows permissions matched other cygwin directories I've seen 
(Everyone = Full Control, owned by my group: DANB3\Administrators).

I hope that helps,
