In case anyone else runs into this I found the problem, which was that on both
these machines there was an already
existing install of Cygwin.
I removed these existing installations and then reran the installer which
called out and ran Cygwin setup which created
a whole new Cygwin installation.
This time the installer had no problem copying files into the Cygwin
installation.
For completeness here are the acls from the new Cygwin installations. As you
can see the installer uses SYSTEM as the
user account due to perMachine scope and elevated privileges required by UAC.
Administrator@WIN-SERVER /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/local
$ getfacl bin
# file: bin
# owner: SYSTEM
# group: SYSTEM
user::rwx
group::rwx
mask:rwx
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:other:r-x
Administrator@WIN-SERVER /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/local
$ getfacl etc
# file: etc
# owner: SYSTEM
# group: SYSTEM
user::rwx
group::rwx
mask:rwx
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:other:r-x
Administrator@WIN-SERVER /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/local
$ cacls bin
C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:F
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:R
Everyone:R
CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)F
CREATOR GROUP:(OI)(CI)(IO)R
Everyone:(OI)(CI)(IO)R
Administrator@WIN-SERVER /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/local
$ cacls etc

CREATOR GROUP:(OI)(CI)(IO)(RX)
Everyone:(OI)(CI)(IO)(RX)

Administrator@WIN-SERVER /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/local
$ Icacls etc
etc NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(F)
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX)

CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
CREATOR GROUP:(OI)(CI)(IO)(RX)
Everyone:(OI)(CI)(IO)(RX)
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files
I don't know if there are any other ramifications of Cygwin being installed
under SYSTEM account but so far everything seems to work.
Again, thanks for the help tracking this down.
