You are using windows NT and you are member of "Administrators" group. It's 
NT's (mis)feature - in this case the owner of file is "Administrators", but 
not you! This fools bash to check file's write permissions properly 
(getuid() returns yours, but not "Administrators" uid). Chown config.cache 
"you login name". Or remove youself from "administrators" group.
