Jurgen,
I use a Samba mount every day. Try using forward slashes, i.e.,
mount //beb0628/buildpc /mnt/tst
Depending on whether the mount point exists, you might also need to
specify the -f flag.
Are you trying to do a system mount, or a user one? If system, does the
user have enough privileges (i.e., permission to write to HKLM)?
What is the value of your CYGWIN variable (I'm shooting in the dark here)?
Igor
