Just as in Linux:

ENOENT  O_CREAT is not set and the named file does not exist. Or, a
	directory component in pathname does not exist or is a dangling
	symbolic link.

Do you have casesensitivity enabled and does the local directory
"Utilities" have another case (like "utilities") by any chance?

Btw., you missed to send your cygcheck output per the request on
http://cygwin.com/problems.html  It would give a hint by printing the
value of the obcaseinsensitive registry key.  See
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive
