I'm glad that you finally fixed your problem.

The above is a very good suggestion, please follow it.
If you stick with your unconventional directory structure, then use the
following:
$ mount -s -b e:/ /home/tbaker
However, IMO, a much more general and useful approach is the following:
$ mkdir X:/home
$ mount -s -b X:/home /home
where "X" is some drive letter.
Note that the above will work for all users not just tbaker.

Yes.

No, you just need to execute it once. Cygwin's mount table is persisted
in the Windows registry.

See above.
