cygcheck output as descibed on the above page would be helpful in the
first place.

Next question is, what kind of network drives?  Run
/usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo X:\\ with X being the drive you have the
problem with.  Alternatively chdir into some directory on the drive and
run "getVolInfo ."

Ultimately stracing touch would be helpful.  Make sure foo.txt does
not exist, run

  $ strace -o touch.trace touch foo.txt

and attach the touch.trace file to your reply.
