About the env vars, a little cygwin hint: LD_LIBRARY_PATH is useless. Use PATH instead (and the value should be "/usr/local/pgsql/lib", not "/usr/local/pgsql" as in your output - excepting the case you instructed the configure script to install dlls in /usr/local/pgsql).

About the "/tmp" issue, try a chown and a chmod on a file in /tmp and see if that works. If it does, then you should check http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-07/msg00043.php . The first "4." item there states some relevant information.
