Here's a sample of my error output:

Make sure you run apt-cyg from the drive that Cygwin is installed on. I got 
errors when I tried to run it after I cd'd to another drive.

It seems you have another apt-get installed already in another directory 
(/usr/bin) which does not have the executable bit set. Try to run /bin/apt-cyg 
directly or remove the other apt-cyg.
