Postinstall script errors

I recently upgraded from cygwin 1.5 to 1.7. At the end of the install
there were errors with some of the postinstall scripts.  From the
setup.full.log:

2010/08/11 08:39:53 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/bash.sh
ln: creating symbolic link `/dev/stdin': File exists
2010/08/11 08:39:54 abnormal exit: exit code=1
2010/08/11 08:39:54 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh
2010/08/11 08:39:55 abnormal exit: exit code=1


I tried manually running the scripts with mixed results

$ bash --norc --noprofile /etc/postinstall/bash.sh ; echo $?
0

$ bash --norc --noprofile /etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh ; echo $?
1

I tired manually running the commands inside passwd-grp.sh and they
all return 0. So I'm not sure what exactly is failing.  Is there
anything I should do to investigate?

Thanks!
Jeremy
