Maybe you have a problem with ntfs file permissions.
The domain users must have at least write access to tmp and their home directory, and read access to most of the rest. The domain Administrator usually is in the local Administrators group and will have access (depending on your domain setup).

Did you use mkpasswd to add the domain accounts to cygwins passwd file?
