> 'chmod' does not work on FAT32 drive under Cygwin 1.5.19

Welcome to the wonderful world of FAT32.  (NTFS is MUCH nicer).
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.chmod
There are inherently NO permissions on FAT32, with no way
to add it, so cygwin fakes success on chmod without doing
anything.
