It certainly sounds like a strange problem. I suspect that:
1. It is not your Cygwin (Unix) permissions since you can execute /usr/bin/tbl
manually (and /usr/bin/man, but man cannot execute other things)
2. You are running NT/2000/XP and there is something wrong with the ACLs. I'm
afraid I'm not much of an expert at troubleshooting ACLs. You might read the
Cygwin User's Guide section about NT permissions.
I see an interim solution, though... you can just read man pages with pinfo or
info. You also might try reinstalling the 'man' package to make sure the
config files weren't hosed.
HTH.
