From your attached text:

>total 200
>-rw-r--r-- 1 sacharb mkgroup- 201884 Sep 4 2001 impacddl.zip
Notice that the group ownership is set to 'mkgroup-'.
This indicates that your entry for 'sacharb' has not
been setup completely in your /etc/passwd and /etc/group
files. This is further indicated from your attached
text:
>Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (nontsec)
>UID: 25016(sacharb) GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d)
>10545(mkgroup-l-d)

>545(Users) 1005(ORA_DBA) 10545(mkgroup-l-d)
The "GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d)" is telling you to run
the mkgroup command to update your /etc/group file
(and make a corresponding change to your entry in
your /etc/passwd file). Please see the documentation
in the manual pages for the 'mkpasswd' and 'mkgroup'
commands, i.e., run "man mkpasswd" and "man mkgroup".
