Actually, we should stop trying to guess and insist on the information
requested here:
http://cygwin.com/problems.html
In particular, cygcheck output would probably be very instructive since
I suspect either a FAT32 filesystem or CYGWIN=nontsec setting.
This page also suggests that a subject like "Newbie blah isn't very
helpful.
