That fixed it. Thanks.

I had the exact same problem with Cygwin & CVS.
I think the problem is that NT's idea of "perry" doesn't match Cygwin's
definition of UID 1119. If you're on an NT Domain, have you done the
"mkpasswd -u perry -d COMPANY_DOMAIN >> /etc/passwd"? That's what fixed it
for me.
See this for another workaround:

I have read the documentation on 'ntsec', but I still don't understand why I
can't chmod files that I own. I noticed this when using cvs.
For example:
$cvs update
cvs server: Updating .
U blah.cpp
cvs update: cannot change mode of ./blah.cpp: Invalid argument
$ ls -l
total 54
drwxrwxrwx 2 Administ None 4096 Sep 25 14:47 CVS
-rw-rw-rw- 1 1119 None 871 Sep 25 14:15 blah.cpp
