If you're trying to reproduce the exact permissions as Windows sees them, you're out of luck with Cygwin. The ACL handling in Cygwin is using the Solaris view on ACLs, which is basically the same as the POSIX view, just using a different API. The Solaris/POSIX APIs handle only three permission bits corresponding to the POSIX "rwx". These are mapped as useful as possible to Windows permission bits. If you want exact Windows ACLs, use native Windows tools.
