I get that here too, no matter what I set the mount point to be, and without the fstab file at all.

Also, the /bin/gitk.bat file should rather be
     @"%~d0%~p0wish84.exe" "%~d0%~p0gitk" %*
than the current hardcoded path. (Probably won't work with 
command.com, but who uses that for development nowadays anyways, right ;-)
