Kris,

The owner of the remote file has a SID that does not appear
in your passwd file and thus it cannot be mapped to a uid. 
Cygwin then uses uid = -1 
This also explains what you describe in your follow up
message.

Perhaps the Windows security gui or the cacls program will
reveal the identity of the owner.
