"Cygwin ignores filesystem ACLs and only fakes a subset of permission bits based on the DOS readonly attribute"
No, it's a bit more tricky. FAT filesystems, which are the role model for noacl filesystems don't know something like a R/O directory. The DOS R/O bit on a directory does NOT mean the directory is R/O. Rather, it only means that the folder is some sort of special folder. For some better description, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549.
Therefore the fault is not on Cygwin's side, but on Samba's side to use the DOS R/O bit for something different than Windows uses it on directories.
Cheers, Raman
