I would be inclined to binary mount it for everyone
mount -s -b c:\\program\ files\\cygwin\\tmp /tmp
If you must stick to a directory path with spaces in it might be better
to use
mount -s -b c:\\PROGRA~1\\cygwin\\tmp /tmp
If c:\program files\cygwin is your cygwin / then
mkdir /tmp
may be an easier choice.
