ange-ftp comes with Emacs. You should not need to install it
separately. Maybe the version you installed is incompatible with Emacs-21.2.

It means the function ange-ftp-run-real-handler is not
loaded. Probably cygwin-mount should (require 'ange-ftp) before
trying to use it, or maybe the version of ange-ftp you have does not
define that function.

Probably as a result of the ange-ftp/cygwin-mount problems above.
