Just to be sure, I'm telling my setup.
- cron installed with
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -e "CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec"
- My /etc/passwd (partly):
root:*:0:0:,S-1-5-32-544::
Everyone:*:1:1:,S-1-1-0::
SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18:/home/system:/bin/bash
corinna::100:0:,S-1-5-21-XXX-YYY-ZZZ-1003:/home/corinna:/bin/tcsh
dummy::101:545:,S-1-5-21-XXX-YYY-ZZZ-1004:/home/dummy:/bin/bash
- My /etc/group (partly):
root:S-1-5-32-544:0:
everyone:S-1-1-0:1:
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
none:S-1-5-21-XXX-YYY-ZZZ-513:513:
users:S-1-5-32-545:545:
- /etc, /etc/passwd and /etc/group world readable.
- ls -laR /var/cron
/var/cron:

`corinna' is an admin account, `dummy' is a standard user.
Cron works fine for both accounts, corinna as well as dummy.
I don't know what's your problem is. I can just suggest to debug
your installation.
