Yes, that's the problem. There are non ash cygwin processes still running.
See the output of ps x. There must only be 2 processes:
 /usr/bin/ash
 /usr/bin/ps

Kill all other.

rebaseall: only ash processes are allowed during rebasing
    Exit all Cygwin processes and stop all Cygwin services.
    Execute ash from Start/Run... or a cmd or command window.
    Execute '/bin/rebaseall' from ash.
exit 2
