Marc,
Before you do anything as drastic as a "chmod -R a+rx /cygdrive/c", try
the following:
$ mv /etc/passwd /etc/passwd-old
$ mv /etc/group /etc/group-old
$ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
$ mkgroup -l > /etc/group
If you are a domain user, also add
$ mkpasswd -d -u yourusername >> /etc/passwd
$ mkgroup -d >> /etc/group
And see if this helps.
In other words, your /etc/{passwd,group} files seem to be incomplete, so
you need to regenerate them.
