I recently set up Cygwin and XWin on my XP system, but need help with error

My setup log file shows:

Checking the verbose log shows a common theme of "failed to write cache", e.g:
2010/08/26 10:17:04 running: F:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/font-adobe-dpi75.sh
/usr/share/fonts/75dpi: failed to write cache
My local cygwin directory resides on a FAT32 drive, if that is related. Made
copies of my setup logs and can supply further information if needed.
The command which is failing is 'fc-cache -f', and the cache files in question
live in /var/cache/fontconfig.
You might try running 'strace fc-cache -f' from a shell to see if that sheds
any light on why these cache files apparently can't be written.
