Please keep email on the cygwin AT cygwin DOT com list.
It gets to me just as fast, and someone else might answer quicker.

Why did you just make your man pages executable?

Ok, its now clear that this is an ntsec problem.

In current Cygwin DLLs, ntsec is on by default. Unfortunately, with certain
situations, the problem you are seeing arises.
It would be helpful for you to past the output of "cacls C:\cygwin" at a
cmd.exe shell. (Obviously, subsititute C:\cygwin as appropriate for your
install.)

As to solving the problem, you can either set nontsec in your CYGWIN
variable, or you can adjust permissions on your files so that they work
properly.
I suggest that you give Administrators Full Control over your Cygwin tree,
which should hopefully solve the immediate problems. *Please run cacls as
mentioned above before doing this!*.

Thanks,

Max.
