cp is different than tar.   Downgrading tar won't help cp complaining
about unstable inodes.

Have you tried the latest cygwin1.dll snapshot, which has some patches
to work around at least one additional broken file system beyond what
1.7.7 supported?  And if that still causes the warning for you, then we
need more details about your file system (/usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo
/cygdrive/q).
