If you're home directory is remote (i.e. on a file server and perhaps 
mounted) then you might try adding smbntsec to CYGWIN. Or you can use 
the Windows Explorer Properties: Security and play with the toggles 
until you get the desired result. You need to play because there is not 
a clear mapping from Windows security bits -> POSIX security bits.
