Unless you are really running under the local administrator's account,
then it appears that your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files need to be
regenerated with mkpasswd and mkgroup, respectively.

Please take this problem to the Cygwin list <cygwin(at)cygwin(dot)com> since
this is really OT for this one. Additionally, since there are more
experienced Cygwin users there, your problem is likely to be solved
faster than here.
