1. From your cygcheck.txt:

>...
>  Found: C:\WINNT40\grep.exe
>  Found: d:\cygwin\bin\grep.exe
>  Warning: C:\WINNT40\grep.exe hides d:\cygwin\bin\grep.exe
>...

Please check your C:\WINNT40 for other utilities,
such as 'cron.exe'.  Consider deleting these 
programs, or moving them to another directory
in your PATH.

3. Please examine your /var/log/cron.log to see
if it provides any useful messages.

4. Please provide a copy of your crontab:

    $ crontab -l > crontab.txt

5. Run the following command to check your
   cygwin packages:

    $ cygcheck -c | fgrep Incomplete

   If any packages are listed, then consider
   running 'setup.exe' and selecting the
   'Reinstall' option.

Also, at some point, consider the possibility of
converting your C drive's file system from FAT
to NTFS, if doing that conversion won't cause
other problems.  Windows provides the 'convert'
command for this purpose.
