So I tried to re-format it and was denied. On investigation
it turned out that Norton System Works had protection enabled
on this drive. I disabled it and 'cp' now works again. Also
if you check the exclusions on a drive that Norton is
protecting you'll see that '\temp' is excluded.

So for me at least disabling Norton Protection on a folder
or drive that I intend to use Cygwin on is the way to go.

Many thanks to all who replied.
