Pretty simple: I shared the entire drive from my OS X box to the Cygwin VM hosted on the same machine, and got this error with commands like “ls /p” when the drive is mapped as P:.

If I map my OS X Desktop folder to Q: on the Windows side, the problem doesn’t occur.

There are no ACLs on the root of either Mac OS X drive (ls -led /) so if it’s an OS X-side permission problem, it’s happening at a different layer than the filesystem.  Perhaps one of the MAC layers?  (Gatekeeper, etc.)

Possibly.  OS X switched from Samba to an Apple-specific smbd in 10.7:

I’ll repeat that Windows Explorer seems to have no problem showing the contents of the root of the P: share, though.
