Nothing I've found says anything about this. There's a chance that you're not logged in with the password user token. Under some circumstances (which are, unfortunately, a bit intransparent) Cygwin decides that the user token is not ok and creates a new one which is then missing the network credentials you need to access your shares. One thing you could try is th regenerate your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. If you have a domain, don't forget to add the domain user and group accounts with `mkpasswd -d' and `mkgroup -d'.
