Thanks Bob - you were right. I changed the owner of the Cygwin SSHD service from the Cygwin default of "sshd_server" to my build user "build"; fixed the ownership of the ssh directories/config in Cygwin; and MSI validation now works as expected. It must have been an issue with the combination of running sshd as a different user to the build login user (on the face of it, both users had identical permissions). Thanks for your help.
