chmod not working on Windows XP

After having read the FAQ and setting CYGWIN to "ntsec tty", chmod still
does not change file permissions on my Windows XP system.  I've created
/etc/passwd and /etc/group as follows:

mkpasswd --local --domain > /etc/passwd
mkgroup --local --domain > /etc/group

My system configuration is:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
Cygwin 1.5.5-1

What am I overlooking?

Thanks,

Derek
