The above is a very strange mount command. Do you know how it got into
your /etc/profile?

I don't recommend adding personal environment setup to the system-wide
/etc/profile -- use your .bash_profile instead.

Assuming that you are using Sun's Java (or some other Win32 JVM), then
you must use Win32 and *not* Posix path:
CLASSPATH=$(cygpath -w /0/java/dev/myPrj)

I have no idea why the above works.

The above should work if you use cygpath as described above.
BTW, cygwin@cygwin.com is probably a more appropriate mailing list for
these types of issues.
