Please set the db_enum: line to

  db_enum: all

and try again after exiting from the shell window.  Have a look at
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch
for the settings.  By default account enumeration only returns
the bare minimum for speed.

Btw, there *is* a bug in that code, but it affects only domain
menber machines, afaics.
