Sounds like a simple permissions problem on ~/.ssh/identity.  Your best
bet is to read up on openssh docs so that you're sure you get everything 
configured correctly.  FWIW, I doubt that this is a Cygwin specific issue
but there isn't really enough information here for me to tell for sure one
way or the other.  But you might also find the email archives helpful.  
There's been lots of people that ask about configuring openssh for Cygwin
here.
