What's in your /etc/install.db for these packages?  That's what 'setup.exe'
looks at (and essentially what 'cygcheck -srv' reports).  Perhaps these
differ on these other machines for some reason.  This information will 
be consistent with your installed versions only if you installed with 
'setup.exe' of course.  Compare this information among the different 
machines for the packages that you believe are at different revs.  That
should give you a starting point.
