LocalSystem is a special user account which may be displayed as SYSTEM (I
know it's displayed when adding users to groups).

[elfyn AT ellixia findcyg]$ ls -al t
-r-xr-xr-x    1 elfyn    users           0 Mar 26 21:43 t

The rx above indicates that the above file (t) is readable and executable be
everyone.

Not to sure what the problem may be. Perhaps the output from `mount' or even
better `cygcheck -svr' (non-compressed plain-text attachment) may help
someone here find out what's wrong. Also, does /var/log/crond.log contain
anything useful?
