"Input/output error" is just an EIO.  strace might show more useful
information.  EIO could be generated for a couple of reasons, for
instance, the WIn32 errors ERROR_DISK_CORRUPT or ERROR_OPEN_FAILED are
translated to the POSIX EIO.  Another chance to get EIO is if something
goes badly wrong trying to read a symlink.  Or, that's always a chance,
the OSX smb server doesn't support some system call used by Cygwin.  It
wouldn't be the first such FS.
