Fwd: Permissions issue with managed mounts

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new managed mount point and am running into
some problems.

The exact command I am running: (after successfully creating both
/usr/.managed/portage and /usr/portage as myself in the cygwin shell)
mount -o managed `cygpath -m /usr/.managed/portage` /usr/portage


Results in:

mount: /usr/portage: Permission denied

attached is the output of cygcheck -svr and also my /etc/passwd and
/etc/group files. I don't know that I have a complete grasp of what
the correct configuration for those files is, but don't understand why
I can create a directory and not subsequently mount it as managed.

TIA,
--andy
