I think you need to look at why the user that created the files in the
first place isn't known to Cygwin. If you can solve that problem, you
may find the rest falls into place.

No clue, I assume it is some bug in cygwin, since this happens to any file created on this drive via Cygwin.

build@zre-win-002 /cygdrive/z/current/WINDOWS
$ whoami
build

build@zre-win-002 /cygdrive/z/current/WINDOWS
$ ls -l blah
ls: cannot access blah: No such file or directory

build@zre-win-002 /cygdrive/z/current/WINDOWS
$ touch blah
l
build@zre-win-002 /cygdrive/z/current/WINDOWS
$ ls -l blah
-rw-r--r-- 1 ???????? ???????? 0 2010-09-08 15:45 blah

OK, take a look at <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-ids>. You'll want to use 'mkpasswd' and 'mkgroup' to get the passwd and group files fixed up.
