Thanks for the report.  This seems to be failing on the call to Files.hardlink (see line 63 of the files.icn test program).  This function just calls the unix link() function, which in this case is failing with errno set to 1.

Perhaps you could try running the "ln" command in the test directory to see whether hard links can be created on your system.

This web page also seems to suggest that FAT32 file systems may be a problem for hard links on cygwin.

I assume this resolved itself, so I'll close it.
