tar extract issues on Windows 7

- Subject: tar extract issues on Windows 7
I am using cygwin version 1.5.25-15
I tar'ed a bunch files on a FreeBSD system a while back and did not
notice that all mode bits were stripped EG:
---------- 1 james 513 4071 Apr 13 05:21 .bash_history
---------- 1 james 513 708 Apr 9 07:22 .bash_profile
---------- 1 james 513 625 May 19 2006 .bashrc
I've been trying all day to extract this tar archive on a Windows 7,
64 bit system. EG: google, screwing around with security permissions
etc.
Here is the tar error I receive when attempting to extract files fro
this archive to c:\strorage1.
I am attempting this under an account with Administrator permission.
This account is correctly listed in the password/group files. I've
tried tweaking the effective GID- no luck.
tar: JumpDrive/Personal/Technical/Scripts/FreeBSD/IP_Check/FreeBSD/email_notice.txt:
Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: JumpDrive/Personal/Technical/Scripts/FreeBSD/IP_Check/FreeBSD/IP:
Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: JumpDrive/Personal/Technical/Scripts/FreeBSD/IP_Check/FreeBSD/ip_history.log:
Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: JumpDrive/Personal/Technical/Scripts/FreeBSD/IP_Check/FreeBSD/machine_shutdown.sh:
Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: JumpDrive/Personal/Technical/Scripts/FreeBSD/IP_Check/FreeBSD/machine_started.sh:
Cannot open: No such file or directory
When I have access to a UNIX system (or knoppix) I'll repackage the
tar. But there should be a way to do this under Windows 7 with Cygwin
1.5.25-15? Or do I have to grab 1.7 and mess around with mounting
things with /etc/fstabb?
Thanks,
Xavier
