  Failure of rename-into-place is almost always caused by an AV program (or
similar) that opens handles to your files and holds them open when your
program was expecting nothing to have them open.  Take a browse at the FAQ 
entry:

    http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda

thanks for the hint. There is no such software installed on the PC, but as it is also stated in the FAQ, problems might still occur from buggy programs that cause system errors.


The second interesting thing is that although everything runs inside the
cygwin shell, the file names in the error report are in windows format
(as you can see above). Might this cause some problems, and why does
this happen?

  Because you are running a non-Cygwin version of 'ar', using a script that
translates filenames for you automatically.  So it is in fact rather likely
that this isn't a cygwin problem at all, even though you happen to see it when
you launch the programs from a cygwin shell.


This might actually be true. Probably I should simply switch to some other Windows version...

Regards
Clemens
