Seems like the temporary files are readonly, and
hence xcrysden cannot overwrite them. Try again and see
if /tmp/xc_????/xc_struc.???? is a readonly file, i.e.; 
ls -l /tmp/xc_4500/xc_struc.4500 should return a line strating with:

-r--r--r-- 

Is this is so, then this has likely to do with the cygwin settings
(can't help more, because my cygwin knowledge is close to zero).
