Web,
if mkpasswd can not help you to identify the SID, than
you can try Setacl
http://setacl.sourceforge.net/
using as:
$ SetACL.exe -on $(cygpath -aw YOUR_FILE) -ot file -actn list -lst "f:sddl;w:o,g,s,d"
will provide the full list of SID and ACL of the file
or directory. The answer is a bit cryptic but it is very detailed.
After that you can create,by hand, the right reference in
your
/etc/passwd and /etc/group
