Well, that posting was referring to permissions on *Windows* directories.
Cygwin isn't standalone -- to work, it needs the standard Windows DLLs
like kernel32.dll, winsock stuff, etc. I'm guessing your C:\Windows
directory is accessible to local users but not domain users.

Try to follow through on the permission idea. The ability to use sftp as
another local user (not Administrator) would support this guess.
