I promise to quit replying to my own mails... I have figured out that the "copy base system" command copies in the base system, but the cygwin permissions are all screwed up. They are d---------+ when viewed with a cygwin bash shell. Changing the permissions with chmod -R 777 "dirname" allows the toolflow to build a good bit file.
I considered putting the above command in the matlab script, but I'm not sure how to call a cygwin command from matlab... I'll let you know if our system administrators can figure it out. John > Hi.
