Greetings, Reid Burton!

> it was failing to delete /dev/nul,

Cygwin does not create nor use this "file".
Most likely it was created by the user by the means of misspelling the
/dev/null device name.

You can use Cygwin's rm to remove it, or other tools that can use lower level
native file API's to avoid driver wrapper filtering.
