We need the information it requests and we need a case to reproduce
your behavior. Make sure all the tools you're using in this test
case are indeed Cygwin versions.
There's no reason that Cygwin apps would require 8.3 names. I think
you're changing these files with some windows program which is mucking
with the permissions on these files. But that's just a WAG.
