Do you have two baileyb users, one with uid 32638 and owning the crontab
and another one with uid 1006 and being setuid by cron?

-rw-r----- 1 baileyb root 1173 2010-12-13 07:51 /var/cron/tabs/baileyb
-rw-r----- 1 32638 0 1173 2010-12-13 07:51 /var/cron/tabs/baileyb

Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe
UID: 1006(baileyb)  GID: 513(None)
513(None)           0(root)             544(Administrators) 545(Users)
