Been there, done that.  Try "CYGWIN=traverse".  Expect weird problems.
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823659.
Maybe Interix brackets all file related calls with switching on and off
traverse checking in the user's access token, but we're already
suffering enough on this mailing list from "CywGin is sloooow" reports.

Maybe something's broken in your environment.  Cygwin's link(2) function
works fine on NTFS and Samba shares for me.
