It means that there are extra permissions set on the file, in the windows
ACL, that cannot meaningfully be expressed in terms of user/group/other
read/write/execute. You can take a look at the file's properties in windows
explorer to see what they are, or use the 'cacls' (windows native) or
'getfacl' (cygwin) command-line utilities to examine them.
