This is covered in the FAQ [1].

[1] http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-cant-read-lock-file

Start the server with the -nolock option.

This option is turned on automatically when you have a FAT filesystem, 
but it seems this doesn't happen for exFAT filesystems.

Thanks for reporting this problem.
