Well, rsync creates that mess somehow.

Yes, it's the top-level directory of an external disk attached to USB.

All directories from here on down have been created by Cygwin / rsync,
and "." is the target directory of the rsync.

The problem seems to be that without the --acl flag to rsync, it tries
to chmod the files it copies to the permissions it gets from the source
file (which would be ---rwx---+).

Yes, that's likely a fallout from rsync trying to recreate the mode bits
for a different file owner and group. On the source tree the file owner
(a domain user) doesn't have any rights, access is granted by one of the
share groups (seperately for read-only and modify access) and the filer
admin group (modify access plus a few more permissions). None of the
share groups have permission to modify the DACL and everything gets
inherited from the root node of the share (it's a NetApp, but I don't
think that factors into that problem other than being the standard setup
on these files apparently).

Let me know if you need more information.
