Where's Santa when you need him ;-) "Input/output error" is just an EIO. strace might show more useful information. EIO could be generated for a couple of reasons, for instance, the WIn32 errors ERROR_DISK_CORRUPT or ERROR_OPEN_FAILED are translated to the POSIX EIO. Another chance to get EIO is if something goes badly wrong trying to read a symlink. Or, that's always a chance, the OSX smb server doesn't support some system call used by Cygwin. It wouldn't be the first such FS.
