See if these user guide entries are helpful.

For cygwin 1.5: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping
For cygwin 1.7: http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping

I'm wondering if this applies since your example looks an awful lot
like what is used in the user guides.
