It worked. I thought that when I deleted the Software\Cygnus Solutions registry entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER (after reading that FAQ item earlier) that it removed all the registry entries, but doing both that and umount -A cause it to work. Perhaps there were entries elsewhere in the tree.
Thanks so much for the info and taking the time to respond! Now if I can only get sshd to work properly -- but I haven't exhausted my non-mailing list help sources on that one yet...
