Hmm, this command works for me just fine.  I'm running Cygwin 1.3.12
and fileutils 4.1.

    $ uname -a
    CYGWIN_NT-4.0 NTDEVEL 1.3.12(0.54/3/2) 2002-07-03 16:42 i686 unknown
    $ zgrep ln.exe /etc/setup/*.lst.gz
    /etc/setup/fileutils.lst.gz:usr/bin/ln.exe
    $ grep fileutils /etc/setup/installed.db
    fileutils fileutils-4.1-1.tar.bz2 0

Check if you have multiple copies of cygwin1.dll, and see if have
any aliases or scripts also named 'ln' that might be executed instead
of /bin/ln.exe.

Hope this helps.
