I found a thread, https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-04/msg00008.html,

On Win7, I'm on a old cygwin installation (thought I'd copy to more spacious 
disk before updating) I tried this command after ssh to an admin account, but 
the command terminates with

I don't know much about windows. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Run robocopy as admin from an elevated command shell (bash or cmd) with 
Administrator privileges.

Simply running as admin doesn't solve the problem.

    $ robocopy C:/cygwin64 F:/cygwin64 -e -purge -z -copyall -sl

    ....
    100%        New File                 210        shells

Try from elevated Command Prompt (Admin) with expected path delimiters and 
switch chars:
        > robocopy C:\cygwin64 F:\cygwin64 /e /purge /z /copyall /sl
I've had success with:
        ... /s /copyall /xj /sl /mt:8 /r:0 /w:0 /ndl /nfl /np
but YMMV
