Kris,
The owner of the remote file has a SID that does not appear
in your passwd file and thus it cannot be mapped to a uid.
Cygwin then uses uid = -1
This also explains what you describe in your follow up
message.
Perhaps the Windows security gui or the cacls program will
reveal the identity of the owner.
