Cron jobs don't run

I'm trying to set up cron jobs in a new cygwin installation. The cron
service is running, but jobs are not executed.
I ran cron_diagnose.sh which says "The SYSTEM user cannot access the
mount point /usr/bin". mount shows:
$ mount
C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
Z: on /cygdrive/z type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
However, cygcheck shows:
C:\cygwin / system binary,auto
C:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin system binary,auto
C:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib system binary,auto
cygdrive prefix /cygdrive user binary,auto
cron_diagnose.sh suggest mount -f -s -b "[DOS path to Cygwin]/bin"
"/usr/bin", but I guess the -s and -b switches are not supported by
mount (the man page doesn't mention them) and mount -f "c:/cygwin/bin"
"/usr/bin" mount: /usr/bin: Operation not permitted.
How do I fix this problem? I have attached cygcheck.out
