Thanks for your reply, the problem has been resolved, details below and in my previous reply to Erik.

Yes, it was something like this (I haven't pinpointed the exact cause yet),
running the setup as the network administrator seem to have done the trick.

I had this in mind as something to try, but I wasn't sure if anything in the installation might get incorrect paths or similar.

Correct, it was some sort of permissions issue, possibly related to underlying Samba problems (see my reply to Erik for details).
I think this Cygwin account I was using was created for a different purpose
(updating a specific in-house program inside Cygwin), and the full install scenario had not been tested before.

Thanks for your suggestions, much appreciated!
