cygwin permission denied


I have been trying to update the Cygwin Program so it can locate my files, however when i ran this command 'updatedb', I just got alot of - permission denied responses from the program such as :

/usr/bin/find: `/cygdrive/d/Windows/ServiceProfiles/NetworkService': Permission denied

How can I solve this so I can locate my files using the CYGWIN program.

Ps- i am using a windows7 pc.

Thanks

Jis
