Thanks for your gentle treatment and kind words. :,)

I tried adding a group:mail:r-x ACL to the following:
/mnt/c
/mnt/c/WINNT
/mnt/c/WINNT/system32
/mnt/c/WINNT/system32/drivers
/mnt/c/WINNT/system32/drivers/etc
/mnt/c/WINNT/system32/drivers/etc/services
/mnt/c/WINNT/system32/*.dll
/mnt/c/WINNT/system32/*.DLL
but I still failed in the same way.
Any other suggestions of where to poke and prod?

Not really -- it may just be "historical". Remember, I started with
your 4.02, upgraded to my private 4.10, upgraded to your 4.10, and now
upgraded to your 4.12. IIRC, some doc recommended running as a user
other than root (i.e., LocalSystem). It seems safer to do so unless
really required.
Thanks,
Jason
