I'd start at the source. Give yourself POSIX-style access to the files
to start with. 'cp' will preserve that access. 'cp' and many other
utilities don't take ACL permissions into account. They are silently
ignored. For whatever reason, it looks like your source file has no
POSIX permissions for user, group, and other. Fix that with 'chmod'
and I think you'll have solved your problem.
I suppose that I'm suprised and disappointed that I can't just use cp to
copy arbitrary files around without first having to lay groundwork in
order for things to work properly.
We use cygwin cp as part of our build process and it complicates matters
if can't just check a source tree out and have cp work properly on the
result.
