Without the requisite information requested in the Cygwin problem
reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> we can only
guess, but, since you had to change the permissions on /bin/bash, I'd
guess that you'll need to change the permissions on at least /bin as well.
Also, try running sshd and ssh with a few -v flags (multiple -v's increase
the verbosity level)...
