  If they are owned by a valid Domain User, but Cygwin doesn't recognize that
and treats them as owned by the nobody user (uid/gid -1/-1), doesn't that mean
your /etc/passwd and /etc/group lack an entry for that user, and so need
updating, taking care to use the "-d" flag to mkpasswd/mkgroup?

    cheers,
