Which version of cygwin-mount.el are you using? The latest one (available on
http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/index.html 
<http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/index.html> ) contains this code:

,----
| ;;; ange-ftp
| (if (locate-library "ange-ftp")
|     (require 'ange-ftp))
`----

You see, the ange-ftp stuff is only used if there is ange-ftp available in
your load-path.

Ciao,
Klaus
