Hmm, how about ".\getfacl ." from "x:\cygwin\bin"?

They should have an entry for the user you log in as.  Since you installed
as a different user (admin), mkpasswd will not have put in the entry for
the domain user.  Try running "x:\cygwin\bin\mkpasswd -u <youruser> -d >>
passwd" from "x:\cygwin\etc".

Okay, try ".\ls.exe .\ls.exe" from "x:\cygwin\bin"?

P.S. All of the above commands should be run from a cmd.exe prompt, not
from bash.
