Just removed the MySQL cygwin .dll but, as suspected, it doesn't seem to have any bearing on the problem. The output of 'cygcheck -s' shows the correct .dll is active anyway. The machine running Cygwin has a local acount 'RAMCOM' and also a domain account 'ramcom.dev.com'. However, the domain account was only set-up for practice with Win2000 Server and is never used. Cygwin was installed via the local account and only local account are listed under '/home'. I read somewhere that file permissions may not work with domain accounts but in my case they're not working with the local account either. To check this out I loaded Cygwin on another XP Pro machine which is connected to  this machine via a WORKGROUP connection but has no domain account. I had exactly the same problems even after promoting the Power User account to membership of the Backup and Restore group.

Puzzling.
