Heh.  I just looked, and it seems you've never posted the output of
"cygcheck -svr" on your system ...

Well, I didn't think I was reporting a problem except possibly with my own understanding...

I bet ... the DOS "Read-only" bit on the directory is probably set.

Bingo!

Having changed that, I get:

ls -ld /tmp
drwxr-xr-x 12 michael None 245760 Dec 18 14:26 /tmp

... and...

if [ -w /tmp ]; then echo "Yes"; else echo "No"; fi
Yes
