ln -s do not work


After I did this:
$ ln -s Repos/bugn/ Projects/

A file named `bugn` is created under Projects,
as it is said in the cygwin documentation.

However, cygwin does recognise `bugn` as a link file,
while can't determine where it point to.

I draged the file to notepad.exe, and see following text:

!<symlink>ïî e p o s / b u g n /


$ cygcheck -f /bin/ln.exe
coreutils-8.15-1

I am sure `ln -s some_directory` used to work well on my computer.
I tested hard link or soft link of the file, it worked well.
Help.
