OK, thanks, but you are not answering my question about ls -ln and not
following http://cygwin.com/problems.html
Also, did you try Brian Ford's suggestion?

The snippet of /etc/passwd shows that Administrator on U-IBM-VNYWG3WG0KP
has a directory Administrator.IBM-NMR31UMZNAJ 
Your installation seems a little unusual...
Could there be several users named Administrator on your network?
Do you login in Windows as U-IBM-VNYWG3WG0KP\Administrator?
