If that's not feasible, switch off ntsec and you get standard Windows permissions. If the standard Windows permissions are not as you need them, don't rely on Cygwin's chown/chmod. rather change the inheritence settings of the parent directory according to your needs. Then you get the required permissions right from the start. Nothing against using chown/chmod in some border cases, Berry, but in your situation they are just a workaround for bad permission settings.
I guess I will just have to reimplement chown and chmod, it seems.
Perhaps you're better off with the available tools for ACLs? Just a thought.
PS: I don't know what it is that makes some people get my name wrong, but there you go.
