Can not create file any more.

[Thierry Pirot]

   Hello, 

I reinstalled cygwin from scratch from different mirrors, but the problem
remains. 
However, I can create files if I unset the CYGWIN variable; 

Administrator ~ $export CYGWIN=ntsec
Administrator ~ $touch xxx
touch: creating `xxx': Permission denied
Administrator ~ $id
uid=500(Administrator) gid=513(None)
groups=0(Everyone),544(Administrators),545(Users)
Administrator ~ $export CYGWIN=
Administrator ~ $touch xxx
Administrator ~ $id
uid=500(Administrator) gid=513(None) groups=513(None)


Please, tell me what further information I should give and help me to recover
a fully working cygwin, which I have made my work environment. 

     Thierry.
