I had similar problems on machines with cygwin installed - but the
problems were caused by the fact that I used "mount -c" to change the
cygdrive prefix from "/cygdrive" to "/win". The Windows NX client has
"/cygdrive" hardcoded instead of querying the Windows registry for the
cygdrive prefix (as the cygwin.dll will do...).
When I changed the cygdrive prefix back to "/cygdrive", I could use
the NX client just fine. I have wanted to file a bug report about
this, but never got to it :-/

Is this what you're experiencing, too?

Cheers, Eric
