I am going to assume here that you used setup to install - if not I would suggest 
that you since you already deinstalled once - do it again and use setup. I might 
help you to be sure you are getting everything since some seems to be working and 
some not.

I will repeat my previous comment on this as it does sound a lot like a problem I 
had.  Have you looked for broken symlinks.  If not you should.  That was a 
problem I had.

First do a 
find / -type l -depth -print |pg

take this list of files and check each one with the file command (or even cat 
them ) to see if they look like symlinks.  Make sure as far as windows is 
concerned that they are set to system or read only (this is what I have on 
Win2000).  Just in case - you might also want to check and see using windows if 
in your cygwin installs you have any .lnk files that cygwin sees as .lnk and not 
as symlinks - fix on this is also the read only or system parameter.

By the way the previous problem I had with this was I believe related to some 
Windows backup software and a failed backup.
