I have experienced problems in the past because some of the texmf data
files got the wrong ownership/permissions on them during install.
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg00454.html
I think this happened as a result of me installing cygwin initially as one
username (but nonetheless using the "for all users...." option) and then
updating it later using a different username. If those files had bad
ownership, deleting them and reinstalling would be expected to fix it.
cheers,
