You're so right. This was a clean install - cleared out absolutely 
everything to do with Cygwin on the machine, checked with Process 
Explorer for any processes hanging around, booted the machine and even 
downloaded setup.exe once more, even if I did that just a couple of days 
ago. Seems the mirror I used (mirrorservice.org) hadn't caught up with 
the updates - using kernel.org I could see the correct cygwin package 
fly past as it was downloading.

Now I get what you indicated:

Wed Mar 24 15:01:36 jan AT aeolus:~
$ ls -ld /cygdrive/
dr-xr-xr-x 5 jan Users 0 2006-12-01 00:00 /cygdrive/

and

Wed Mar 24 15:01:40 jan AT aeolus:~
$ getfacl.exe /cygdrive/
# file: /cygdrive/
# owner: jan
# group: Users
user::r-x
group::r-x
other:r-x
mask:rwx

And lo and behold - my backup is running!

Thanks a million for your detailed, accurate and prompt help!

Best regards
Jan
