I've attached cygcheck output as described. I've run mkpasswd > /etc/mkpasswd and now see:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/octave/3.6.4/oct/i686-pc-cygwin/urlwrite.oct -rwxr-xr-x 1 admin None 106510 Feb 23 08:38 /usr/lib/octave/3.6.4/oct/i686-pc-cygwin/urlwrite.oct however urlread still gives the same error. I've worked around this problem now and so this is just for information.
