Incidentally, I disabled indexes for the cygwin backups and now it works.  Go 
figure.

I realized indexing wouldn't work based on previous posts but didn't think 
having the option enabled would actually cause the backup to fail.  I just 
figured my indexes would be emtpy.

Now, if only I could find a way to speed this up... it seems related to the 
number of files tar has to work through.  A 2 GB file gets backed up nightly, 
but a few thousand empty folders slows this down dramatically.
