Ugh, top-posting...  Reformatted.

Hi, Liora,

Indeed, running cron as yourself (especially if you supply the password)
should result in permission problems only if you have trouble running your
script from your regular command line (which I assume you don't).  The
next thing to check is the environment (cron doesn't run a login shell).

BTW, did you run cron_diagnose.sh?

Other than having your HOME set to a UNC path (which CMD apparently
doesn't like), I don't see anything wrong with your cygcheck output.

It could also be an instance of
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-08/msg00071.html>, for which a rebaseall
was recommended.  See if that helps.

Sorry, I'm pretty much out of ideas.
	Igor
