Congrats on the successful first steps!

I believe you can fix these new issues with options on the end of your 
sshfs command.  From the list shown by 'sshfs -h', I would try...
Oh wait a second.  Run these commands to see what Cygwin has for your 
uid and gid:
     id -u
     id -g

Then at the end of your sshfs command, I would try...
     -o umask=000 -o create_umask=000 -o uid=UUUUU -o gid=GGGGG
where UUUUU and GGGGG are your uid and gid from the 'id' command.
(Choosing 000 for both umasks means "full access".)

I don't know if you can 'chown' or 'chmod' files on the mounted 
filesystem; not enough experience with FUSE+sshfs yet.
HTH,
