If you would have created /c by `mkdir /c' _before_ creating the
mount you hadn't got that message.
Short version:
mkdir /foo; mount X:/bar /foo (file completion works)
OR mount -f ... /foo (you don't care)
User mount:
mount X:/bar /foo <--> umount /foo
System mount:
mount -s X:/bar /foo <--> umount -s /foo

??? Sure? In both cases? The latter should work.

Sure. The mount point still exists here.

Some other Cygwin process still running? Inetd? Sshd?
As long as any other Cygwin process is running (aka the Cygwin DLL
is still loaded) removing the registry keys doesn't help.
