Thanks for the permissions tip. I had a closer look via file explorer, select toplevel folder, rightclick, select properties, select security tab, click advanced. There I saw that the necessary permissions were 'This folder only' instead of 'This folder, subfolders and files'. Now it works fine. Hey, I use Cygwin's vim! Thanks for providing this package. I use it for quick edits. For my day-to-day Java/Web programming I prefer native gVim, because the compiler plugins work out of the box and do not need all this cygpath fiddling to invoke javac.
