Hi Graeme
I don't believe the data directory is created when you run initdb. I've
always created this myself. Although I don't know if that's what's
causing your problem. I run the same but on XP and it's worked for
me. You might try posting this question to the cygwin-postgresql
mailing list Pgsql-Cygwin <pgsql-cygwin(at)postgresql(dot)org>.
best of luck,
Jennifer
