    What is your cygcheck sanitizer?  I don't think I'm familiar with it...

ok, the top directory of my Palemoon install just below the
profiles dir has the problem from tar:

tar: default.nlaw-32: Warning: Cannot acl_to_text: Invalid argument
Your script (thank you very much!), shows:

Does that give any insight into the problem?

    ??? Um...I don't think I ever use it's simple interface -- it bothers
me because it isn't literal enough (hides too much detail).

    Are we doing posix acls or sun acls?  I thought at one point they were
sun?

It doesn't -- its the advanced panel that I use for resetting.  The problem
is that it isn't just Explorer.  After a reinstall, I had odd permissions in
several places, so I got "can't write" errors when I tried to use a
music player
that had its database in roaming profile.  I found a few oddities, like
----rwxr-x on a few directories and files.  Resetting them in cygwin
didn't fix the problem -- thus I used the advanced dialog in explorer.
The errors were that it couldn't write to various databases.
