you should provide some details. a small testcase demonstrating a
problem is highly desirable. see http://cygwin.com/cygwin/bugs.html
for bug-reporting buidelines.

fwiw, this snippet:

#include <utime.h>
int main()
{
  struct utimbuf s;
  s.actime = s.modtime = 0;
  return (utime ("./x", &s));
}

correctly sets access and modification times for file './x' with
cygwin-1.3.5 on windows nt 4.0
