Jason,
Here's the output after a fresh install (PostgreSQL 7.2.1-2):
$ ls -l /usr/bin/postgres.exe
-rwx------ 1 Davide None 2708992 Jun 10 06:13 /usr/bin/postgres.exe
> Please use Cygwin's setup.exe to re-install PostgreSQL and then perform

Cheers...
Dave

The above is bad.
What is the output of the following command?
$ ls -ld /usr/bin
My WAG is that you will get something like following:
drwx------ 2 Davide None 0 Jul 11 09:16 /usr/bin
Am I correct? If so, then your Cygwin setup is not correct.
Use the following to fix at least this aspect:
$ chown 544 /usr/bin
$ chmod 755 /usr/bin
Try re-installing PostgreSQL (again). Does /usr/bin/postgres.exe
install with the appropriate permissions?
Thanks,
Jason
