Thank you, Brian - I was aware of that page.  It says that the SYSTEM user
needs access to the files.  I have normally set up so that my cygwin tree
is granted SYSTEM read access all the way down.  /usr/share/locale does
not seem to obey that, which I will inspect more deeply.  Meanwhile, I am
still seeing if adding SYSTEM to BackupOperators is helpful ...
