Corinna, thanks you very much! the "notraverse" keyword did the trick.
I don't really understand what do you mean by "it checks the
permissions of the parent directory"... As long as I can "traverse"
with windows acls in the windows world (and it is presently the case)
I should be able to do the same with cygwin semantics, right?
