Only if your on UNIX and this ain't UNIX.  As a matter of fact, it is
best _NOT_ to create the directory first as it only confuses you the
user _AND_ cygwin32 the emulation filesystem.

Now if you were to do:
      mkdir //d/foo
      mount -b //d/foo /foo
that would be perfectly acceptable and would not confuse you or
cygwin32.
