Hi All...
It appears to be file permissions related. The link being broken looks like
it is because the read only bit on the shortcut file (the .lnk file) is
getting turned off. Even though this first getfacl shows write access, the
read only box in the windows properties is checked. after the chown -h the
windows properties box says not a valid link. After the chmod -R 755, the
windows properties shows it as a valid shortcut, but the read only box is
unchecked. After a chmod -R 555, the read only box is checked and Cygwin
thinks it is a symlink again.

I can't see any problem. What does that mean "it breaks the symlinks"?
How do they look before, how afterwards?
