I think about a year ago there was a patch added to the cygwin core to
allow you to use 'umask' to change apparent permissions on a FAT32
partition.  The idea was you could then do something like:

umask 077; ssh foo.bar.com

I do not know if this code is still in the cygwin libraries, and if it
will solve your problem.
