There is loads of stuff in the list archives on this. If you have local 
user accounts on the Win machine (rather than domain accounts) and 
access using shares using the unix account then the UID/GID are 
different, you can set CYGWIN too some value - I think it is smbnontsec, 
someone  can correct me if I cam wrong.

Using a different user for authentication on the samba share that the 
current user will work fine under win but because of the UID changes 
will not work under cygwin unless the smbnontsec is added to the CYGWIN 
enviroment variable.

A search of the archives will give you plenty more on this.
