d:\cygwin\bin\id.exe output (nontsec)
UID: 400(ckumar)  GID: 401(mkpasswd)
401(mkpasswd)  

It looks like ckumar doesn't appear in /etc/passwd.
Run "mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd" (or -ld if a domain user) 
then run "id" to verify. 

Pierre

P.S.: perhaps testing for uid=400 and gid=401 could be added
to the cron diagnostic.
