I upgraded to the 1.3.20-1 version dll today and saw very similar and strange behavior. Some things wouldn't execute due to permissions errors, and other would execute from commandline but not from a script. What causes this, I don't know.
I ran setup.exe again, found the "base" cygwin install, cycled through the keep/uninstall/revert until 1.9-19 version came up, and installed the older version. Everything seems to be working fine now. I wish I could help with what's broke, but I don't have a clue. There's a recent remark in the list that's there's no way to uninstall - the procedure above seems to work just fine.
