I've setup a cygwin build environment, but I'm having trouble getting it

then later move to another, I have to create a new build folder and
build rockbox from scratch, otherwise I get this error when I try to
configure (I have to reconfigure each time because the drive letter for
the USB stick varies from computer to computer and make can't find files):

The computers aren't locked down in anyway, so I don't see why
permission should be denied. Nothing is marked read only and there's
over 1GB of space free on the disk. Any ideas?
Try setting "nontsec" in the CYGWIN environment variable before you
create the build directory. This will stop Cygwin from trying to fake
posix permissions on the files. Your problem is probably that the users
on the two machines are different and the Cygwin posix permissions are
causing you problems.
You might also be able to work around this by using Windows to reset all
the permissions on your build folder when you switch computers.
See <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html> for more details about
Cygwin's unix-like object permissions.
