Seeing the output (*attached*) from 'cygcheck -s -r -v' as requested by
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html> would help.  What does 'ls -ld /etc'
say?  What does 'getfacl /etc' say?  What about 'cacls c:\cygwin\etc'?

In other words, who has permissions to change '/etc' and who's it's
owner?  Sounds like you need to rejigger ownerships/permissions to make
this work.  Perhaps try that based on the output of the above.
