^^^^^^^^^^^
These uid and gid look fishy. Your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
seem to be off. Maybe that's the reason. Regenerate your /etc/passwd
and /etc/group files:
$ mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd
$ mkgroup -l [-d] > /etc/group
Use the -d option only if you're in a domain. For more information see
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkpasswd
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkgroup
Then exit from your Cygwin shell and start again. Any change?
