The '18' in your output is the group ownership number. As documented
in /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README, this needs to be set to '18' (which
should be the group number of SYSTEM in /etc/group). Your crontab's
permissions and ownerships are set correctly.
Try using a simpler crontab entry, for example:
* * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /tmp/date.txt
Delete all other lines in your crontab until you can get this entry
to work.
Make sure that cron has 'write' permission in /tmp, for example:
chmod 777 /tmp
