Please post the output of "getfacl /" and "cacls C:\cygwin" - preferably
before you modify the permissions in any way.
If you have modified the permissions, then it would great if you could erase
C:\cygwin and reinstall it.
Don't forget to double the backslash if running the cacls command from bash.
