Re install the relevant packages.
http://cygwin.com/packages/ if you don't know which the relvant packages
are.

Ok... You ask (set your umask) your computer to do something, and then
expect it do to something else?
Analogous situation:
$ touch foo bar
$ rm foo
<computer deletes foo>
"No, stupid computer, you should have realized I wanted to delete bar
instead!"

As to why the behaviour has changed, ntsec is now on by default in recent
Cygwin DLLs.
