Rob, and other posters, many thanks for your help and explanations!

Now it (=Cygwin 1.5.x) works correct with NT permissions. This is excellent.

However, I noticed that the resident shield of my used Antivirus program [*] 
now tries to scan every file opened by RSYNC which slows down the computer 
enormously. With the "Cywgin" environment variable set to NTSEC (instead of 
NONTSEC) this is not the case: the antivirus program just scanns the 
infectable files.
Has anybody else observed this unusual behaviour?
