[Box Backup] Win32 Issues

I've been using BoxBackup happily for a few years now, and recently
upgraded my server to v0.10 from v0.09 (thanks to an 'emerge -vu world'
on Gentoo without noticing the Box version change). I've never had a
problem building on a Linux system. I rebuilt Linux clients with v0.10
and they all work fine.
I was previously running v0.09 win32 binaries without a problem, but I'm
having issues compiling in Cygwin with the new v0.10 binaries -- and
moving to another server. I can use my compiled bbackupquery.exe on the
machine where I've compiled, but I get an error on the target machine:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
server01 box $ bbackupquery -c bbackupd.conf
Box Backup Query Tool v0.10, (c) Ben Summers and contributors 2003-2006
Using configuration file bbackupd.conf

Type "help" for a list of commands.
query > Exception: Common OSFileError (Error accessing a file. Check
permissions.) (1/9)
No random device -- additional seeding of random number generator not
performed.
Failed to read from console: error 6

Any ideas as to what I'm missing, or pointing me toward a decent faq for
win32/Cygwin -- specifically how to install a compiled package, and what
libraries would be required (from a base Cygwin install) would be much
appreciated!
Thanks,
Peter
