1.5.13 has changed to using "traverse checking" by default which means,
it now checks not only the permissions of the files and directories
the application is accessing, but also the permissions of the parent
directories (well, as far as Windows is doing the "right thing"(tm)).

If you can't set POSIX-compatible permissions on your directory tree
for some reason, try setting the environment variable CYGWIN to
contain the word "notraverse".
