This isn't exaclty a Cygwin problem.  mkpasswd and mkgroup are basically
just calling some Win32 NetXXX functions to request the information. 

Of course there could be something wrong in mkpasswd/mkgroup, but the
error message you see is a result of one of the Win32 Net calls.  It
looks suspiciously as if she was logged in as the local user, but you'll
never know if you're not able to reproduce it in some way.
