Rene,

I got it working. It was completely due to permissions restrictions I 
had placed on the FSHD user. A few modifications and it logs in fine 
now. In particular (for anyone playing along at home) I used windows to 
change folder access permissions to cygwin folder, bin, and home 
directories. Thank you very much for you help. I've been working on this 
for a while.

Dan
