Yes, POSIX-compatible permissions matching your owner and group
settings, plus the directory inheritence entries to propagate the POSIX
permissions in case the dir is accessed via native Windows tools, plus
the inherited ACEs.  Just as expected.

Making a fuss over perfectly valid permissions?  This message didn't
show up until Vista, and starting with Vista it's annoying.

If you're expecting Cygwin to create files without POSIX ACLs, then use
either a fully qualified DOS path, or add the noacl flag to the cygdrive
entry in /etc/fstab.
