Been there, done that. Try "CYGWIN=traverse". Expect weird problems.
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823659.
Maybe Interix brackets all file related calls with switching on and off

Maybe something's broken in your environment. Cygwin's link(2) function
works fine on NTFS and Samba shares for me.
