Most of the above is irrelevant. This sounds like a bug in mkdirhier, and
I also seem to recall that it was mentioned on the Cygwin lists before,
with proposed fixes. Apparently, the fixes haven't been incorporated in
6.8.99.901-1.
Googling for "mkdirhier site:cygwin.com inurl:ml/cygwin" should turn up
the fixes you need.
HTH,
Igor
