Fwd: rm seems to fail

["greenup greenup" <greenup at gmail dot com>]

I seem to have problems with rm.
specifically, even when using -f it won't remove files, if the
permissions are restricted to read-only.  -f is supposed to be the "I
don't care, just do it" switch.

At one point moved my whole "c:\cygwin" hierarchy to a backup,
rebooted and reinstalled, to try and get a "clean" experience.  no
good.

dz@w2 ~
$ mkdir goo

dz@w2 ~
$ touch goo/foo

dz@w2 ~
$ chmod 400 goo/foo

dz@w2 ~
 $ rm -f goo/foo

dz@w2 ~
$ ls -la goo
total 0
drwxr-xr-x+  2 dz         mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 13 08:10 .
drwxrwx---+ 23 Administrators SYSTEM      0 Jan 13 08:10 ..
-r--------   1 dz         mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 13 08:10 foo

dz@w2 ~
$ getfacl goo

dz@w2 ~
 $ ls -l /usr/bin/rm

dz@w2 ~
$ mount
d:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
d:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
d:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
 c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount)


I did some searching to see if others are having these problems, but I
must be using bad search terms or something.
help appreciated-
