Try from elevated Command Prompt (Admin) with expected path delimiters and switch chars:
> robocopy C:\cygwin64 F:\cygwin64 /e /purge /z /copyall /sl
I've had success with:
... /s /copyall /xj /sl /mt:8 /r:0 /w:0 /ndl /nfl /np
but YMMV

It is elevated, AFAICT. That's the "....,544(Administrators),..." in the
id command output. BTW, Robocopy seems to accept shellish syntax (saw a
note in some docs) and have tried both ways.

Note the 'ls' command output. The cyg_server is a very special account.

Not sure if it is important, but are you on the old machine,
trying to copy local files to the new machine? Wasn't clear.

Yeah... I had a similar problem. Wanted to copy my Win7 cygwin
install to another machine (WinXPx64). I also had problems with
permission denied as an admin -- in my case, I think they were common
cygwin DLL's. I think they were inuse -- and somehow that prevented
them being copied.
In my case, I was aided by having the other machines 'C' drive
network mounted on Z:\. I was able to copy the couple (3 actually)
of files that failed, manually, to old-machine's /tmp. There they weren't
files that would be in use && then I could copy them across the net with
anything. Since both machines had write access to each other's C: drive,
I copied the files from old's /tmp to the bin & lib directories where these
files lived. Once that was done it started functioning.
Maybe that will give you some ideas? I was sorta in the dark as
to what was causing the failure as well, so I poked about... ;-)

try with options
/ZB :: use restartable mode; if access denied use Backup mode.

Thanks Marco, the -zb option to robocopy did the trick. (Now for the
next issues...)
