It means that when scp refers to /usr/bin/ssh it will be actually be
looking for d:/cygwin2/bin/ssh.exe which -- I'm guessing -- doesn't
exist. What is and why do you have this d:/cygwin2 directory if
apparently everything in installed in d:/cygwin?

You can change it with the mount command. See the manpage, or run mount
-m to get a set of mount commands that if run would recreate your
current mount table (i.e. edit them.) Alternatively, just running setup
and entering d:/cygwin for the Root Directory page should accomplish the
same thing.
