Karl, you may want to try a later version of Unison.  2.9.1 is pretty 
old now, and although I don't know about that version specifically, I 
know that there have been "hanging" bugs in other versions.

A Cygwin version of Unison 2.10.2 has just been released; you should be 
able to find it in the Cygwin setup utility.  However, the archive 
format has changed, so you will have to be using version 2.10.x (I 
believe) on both hosts or Unison will complain.  It will also have to 
resync its archive lists.

Good luck,
Andrew.
