Wasn't there a recent thread on this issue, and wasn't it fixed so that cygwin 1.5.25-7 reports directories as writable in spite of the DOS read-only attribute bit? Without cygcheck output, I can't guarantee which version of cygwin this problem was against; but I still suspect that it is with cygwin itself and not coreutils/bash. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
