Look in /etc/postinstall for a file named 'cron.sh.done'. It doesn't
look
as though it has been run. Here is a copy of it:
#!/bin/sh
set -x
if [ ! -d /var/cron ]
then
mkdir -p /var/cron
fi
chmod 1777 /var/cron
if [ ! -d /var/cron/tabs ]
then
mkdir /var/cron/tabs
fi
chmod 1777 /var/cron/tabs
You might try running the 'chmod' commands above manually.
Also, check the ownership/permissions of /var/cron/tabs/<user ID>.
Group membership on your <user ID>-specific tab file should be SYSTEM
(ID #18) and permissions should be set to 640, as described in
/usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README.

Yes, this confirms it. Cygwin is on d: and d: has NTFS on it.
For future reference, please include 'cygcheck.txt' as an attachment,
not inline text. Consider the case where you would like to search
the mail archives for, say, 'bash'. Then every message that includes
the 'cycheck' output inline will produce a (false or irrelevant) match.
If you include the output as a .txt attachment, then the contents will
not be include in a search of the archives.
