I have just had this problem and I found a solution... It a problem with the permission of the files on directory structure. You must unpack the files on native linux system and change the permissions to 777 recursively in directory structure and so you may compress them again and to copy the file to cygwin root and unpack it.
I tried to change the permissions on cygwin the dont worked. Sequece of comands: tar zxvf opendx-4.1.3-cygwin.tar.gz chmod -Rf 777 usr rm -f opendx-4.1.3-cygwin.tar.gz tar czvf opendx-4.1.3-cygwin.tar.gz best regards!
