Thanks.  A quick look turned up this:

  o Your '/etc/passwd' (and probably '/etc/group') need to be regenerated.
    My guess is that '/etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh' didn't run (or run
    properly).  You should try re-running it.

This is probably not the source of the problem but it's something you should
look into anyway.  It's worth checking "/var/log/setup*" for any complaints
as well, in case this all come back to an installation issue.

My best guess?  Could be <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA>.
