Problem solved ^^, but thanks anyway!

My error was relying on the "uninstall"-function in the
internet-installation. I had aborted my first installation and thought
the uninstall stuff would take care of the files.
But (as it says in the FAQ ^_^ ) that's not really the case, as you have
to uninstall manually.
After that I re-installed and everything worked fine.

Greetings,
Lukas

Sounds to me like this batch file is messed up somehow.  What does it 
look like?  What's the output of 'getfacl c:/cgywin/cygwin.bat?
