Something is trying to do a RPC SAMR[1] call to look up user/group
info.  What groups are listed in your process token, and are any of them
domain groups?  You might want to check if the /etc/group and
/etc/passwd files were generated with mkpasswd and mkgroup with the -d
flag so it contains the domain users and group uid/gid info.  (I don't
know if the version of Cygwin that MSYS forked from supported this or
not.)  You can also try disabling the NT ACL<->POSIX mapping with
'nontsec' but then modes on files won't be emulated any more.
