I don't know about your other problems, but this one sounds like 
/etc/passwd didn't get set up correctly.  Cygwin ships with a 'mkpasswd' 
script that does this for you.  I'd suggest reading all the text 
surrounding 'mkpasswd' found on this page:

	http://www.cygwin.com/faq.html

I could see problems due to spaces in the user name or Windows domains 
being an issue here, for example.

You might also need to do a 'mkgroup'.
