When I try to execute the mount, I get:
$ mount -b -u "$TEMP" /tmp
mount: /tmp: Invalid argument
Is there something I'm missing?
No, not really. It's shame on me for not trying the syntax I was
offering first. If you're doing this from inside a Cygwin shell,
use:
mount -b -u $(cygpath -ma "$TEMP") /tmp
