This may be the issue that I previously reported

Cygwin 1.7.1 breaks git on netapp shared drives
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-01/msg01146.html

A secured share drive has inherited acls without permissions to change 
the permissions.  This will be very common on a Windows shared drive but 
does not occur with POSIX.  In the transition from cygwin 1.5 to 1.7 it 
appears that they try harder to use acls.  If they find them they try to 
use them ... but on these shared drives the users do not have 
permissions to change them.  Any application that attempts to change 
them now fails, git, svn, you name it.  We now need to mount the shared 
drives with the noacls flag so cygwin stops trying to change acls even 
though it does not have permission.

Perhaps at mount, if the top directory has inherited permissions that 
lack permission to change permissions then it could revert to the noacls 
behavior.
