The cygcheck output would have shown these packages as not installed if
this were the case.  It would also show the information about mounts,
users, etc.  I was about to ask a whole bunch of questions, but then
realized that the cygcheck output will contain the answers for most of
them, hence the advice.

FWIW, it doesn't look like a download vs install issue, since the original
poster did say that the files exist in /bin.  It's more likely a
permission problem.
