stat unfortunately does not show ACLs; running `getfacl x y' might provide
better information here.

Your group files are still out of date.  Running "mkgroup -l -d >
/etc/group" and "mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd" will help here, and may be
part of your problem.

Did setup.exe ask you to reboot your machine, and did you ignore it?  You
are still running 1.3.22, so the update process hasn't completed yet
(windows can't update a file that is currently in use without a reboot.
The alternative is to ensure that all cygwin processes, including
services, are stopped before you upgrade).

Are you sure this is the updated cygcheck.out - you've got cygwin listed
twice, with a copy still in OpenSSH.
