Ok, it's that SYSTEM running through cygwin has no access to the disk.
So someone else wrote the script to run in DOS, and we've dropped the idea
of scripting scheduled tasks with cygwin. Unless I can figure out how to get
SYSTEM access to the disk through it. :)
Perhaps NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM should be given access rights to the
appropriate directory (right click, Properties, Security). It's just
an "account" like any other.
I'm somewhat puzzled though. On my machine, SYSTEM has full access to
C:. Is this a network drive ?
Certainly the OP or any individual is within their rights (assuming they are
the
system admin) to add the access needed. Or a different user with these
permissions
and any others needed could be created and the service could be run under
this new
user instead. This, of course, isn't a "Cygwin thing" and won't be
automated by Cygwin.
I'm pretty confident that you weren't suggesting it should be automated but
I figured I'd
point this out for the sake of the archives.
