Please try running the following command/s, under Cygwin 32 and 64, and posting 
the outputs:

$ for p in "`cygpath -A -P -U`"{,/Cygwin-X}; do for c in 'lsattr -d' 'ls -dl' 
getfacl; do $c "$p"; echo; done; icacls "`cygpath -m "$p"`"; done

[I just typoed Cygwin 23 and thought - could that be a package of Cygwin, Perl, 
Python, etc. for DNA analysis? ;^> ]
