Can you upgrade to the latest Cygwin 1.7 package and try again.
From your
cygcheck output, it looks like things are not correct but this may
be just
a problem with an old cygcheck that doesn't know how to find the
implicit
mounts. If the issue is still the same, resending the output of the
new
cygcheck would be helpful.
I just downloaded the newest version of cygwin 1.7 as of 6-19-09 at
approximately 3:30 CST and had the exact same results. Please find
the new cygcheck.out file attached. You mentioned above that their
might be a problem with the mounts. Not sure if it helps to know
this, but I can successfully use rsync to copy many gigabytes of
files. It just hangs when there are thousands of files in a single
directory (9,000 seems to always do it.). Also note that this
cygcheck was done on a different computer than the first just to make
sure this isn't computer specific. Again, I have tried it on several.
Thank you in advance.
Your cygcheck output looks more like what I would expect except that it
is truncated. Does this happen when you run it or did it just get
stopped
early?

It didn't get stoped early, that is just what it looks like on this
machine. I ran it again to verify and got what appears to be the same
thing, at least it seems to stop in the same place. This particular
machine runs Windows Vista so perhaps that has something to do with it?
Either way, the rsync results were the same. Attached you should find
another copy created on yet another machine. Rsync results remain the
same. This machine runs XP.
OK, this makes me very suspicious that something is getting in your way.
'cygcheck -srv' should contain allot more information than that. And while
I might suspect Vista (though was always able to get valid output on the
Vista installation I used to have), I would never expect a problem getting
the complete output on XP unless something was interfering. Perhaps you're
experiencing the effects of <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA>?
Ironically, if this is the problem, the cygcheck output is designed to
help spot this kind of problem...
