Thanks Ernie,

The problem was that I was using the following cygwin.bat. With 
CYGWIN=ntsec.  Remarking out the line lets the man pager find the
man pages.

-------------------------------------------------
@rem Cygwin.bat
@echo off
@rem set CYGWIN=ntsec        remarking out lets the man pager work

C:
chdir \cygwin\bin

bash --login -i

I'm having difficulty understanding CYGWIN security, so I'd really
like some pointers as to why this would happen.  I'm logged on as a
member of the administrator group, my password file is:
