From your attached text:

>$ ls -ltr /cygdrive/h
>total 200
>-rw-r--r--    1 sacharb  mkgroup-   201884 Sep  4  2001 impacddl.zip

Notice that the group ownership is set to 'mkgroup-'.
This indicates that your entry for 'sacharb' has not
been setup completely in your /etc/passwd and /etc/group
files.  This is further indicated from your attached
text:

>Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (nontsec)
>UID: 25016(sacharb) GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d)
>10545(mkgroup-l-d)
>
>Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (ntsec)
>UID: 25016(sacharb) GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d)
>0(root)              544(Administrators)  
>545(Users)           1005(ORA_DBA)        10545(mkgroup-l-d)

The "GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d)" is telling you to run
the mkgroup command to update your /etc/group file
(and make a corresponding change to your entry in
your /etc/passwd file).  Please see the documentation
in the manual pages for the 'mkpasswd' and 'mkgroup'
commands, i.e., run "man mkpasswd" and "man mkgroup".
