I just looked, and it seems you've never posted the output of "cygcheck -svr" on your system as requested in > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html I bet that if you did post one, it would show that your Cygwin is installed on either FAT or FAT32, not NTFS. That, and the DOS "Read-only" bit on the directory is probably set. Another (less likely) alternative is that you've installed on a network drive. If it's FAT32, you're out of luck. In other cases you would probably benefit from reviewing <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html>.
