Have you checked if you can do similar operations with DOS commands? I
believe what you're seeing here is a hardware (probably disk) problem.
Years ago I had a failing disk pick off files randomly for a while until
the whole thing finally went.
Is there a way to run the "ls" command in debug mode so I can see
exactly where it's failing? It might give me some indication of what's
going on.
In Cygwin, there's strace to get a look at the system calls made by
Cygwin tools. There's also file and process monitors from sysinternals
(now MS) that can provide some insight.
