Sorry for commenting from the peanut gallery, but his problem may be
that he doesn't want to disclose his user name to anyone nosy enough to

Not tested, but something like

env TAR_OPTIONS="--user=0 --group=0" cygport ...

should do it.
In fact that seems to work, although there is no TAR_OPTIONS documented in the manual page. 
But meanwhile I've solved the issue otherwise already.
