Hmm, this command works for me just fine. I'm running Cygwin 1.3.12
and fileutils 4.1.
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 NTDEVEL 1.3.12(0.54/3/2) 2002-07-03 16:42 i686 unknown
$ zgrep ln.exe /etc/setup/*.lst.gz
/etc/setup/fileutils.lst.gz:usr/bin/ln.exe
$ grep fileutils /etc/setup/installed.db
fileutils fileutils-4.1-1.tar.bz2 0
Check if you have multiple copies of cygwin1.dll, and see if have
any aliases or scripts also named 'ln' that might be executed instead
of /bin/ln.exe.
Hope this helps.
