Yes, I am a member of the administrators group.
No, the administrators group is not mentioned in /etc/passwd (but it is in 
/etc/group)
According to Explorer, the world belongs to the administrators.

What umask would you have me set, and where?
Adding umask=0666 to my CYGWIN environment variable (assuming that's what 
you meant), shutting down all Cygwin processes and looking again does not
change the outcome of the test.
remounting my home with -E added (`mount -f -E -t c:\\cygwin\\home /home`) 
does not change the results either.

If you want me to try anything else (and report the results) don't 
hesitate to ask :)
