At my workplace, I upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit and installed 
Cygwin DLL 1.7.9.  I can create files/folders in the c:/cygwin/home/MyUserName 
subtree, but I can't seem to create files/folders in my personal filespace on 
a network drive.  My filespace is mapped to "i:/", which I access 
as /cygdrive/i .  I own it and have write permission, and I can also create 
files/folders in that subtree using Windows Explorer.  I had no problems when 
I was using Windows XP (and a much older version of Cygwin).

What more can I do to troubleshoot the cause?  I intend to work primarily on 
the network drive because of the safety nets (can recover lost files).  I need 
cygwin on the local machine because I need access to it when I'm on the road.
