Also surprising is that the problem no longer occurs today. When I create a file using `ls > b.txt', I *can* now read it on my wife's desktop (and it just has the default permissions -rw-r--r--). So all is working as expected, I guess. I'm not sure why I had the problem yesterday - I wonder if it's related to the fact that I installed the updated Cygwin on my desktop and hadn't rebooted before switching to my wife's desktop and finding the problem. Anyway, thanks to all who responded for the ideas and assistance.
