This is really weird.  I just installed and then reinstalled
rxvt-unicode to test this, but in my case the symlinks get created in
/bin as it's supposed to be.

Your cygcheck looks good except for this one:

Your /etc/passwd and maybe your /etc/group files are not ok (uid 400 and
gid 401 are not good).  You should use mkpasswd and mkgroup to rebuild
them.  However, it's very unlikely that this is the problem.

I also tested with cygdrive set to / but it worked fine as well.
