Feel free to suspect cockpit errors :-)

But all I can say is that chmod didn't work, 
and then I made zero changes, and while I was 
sending emails to the list, chmod started 
working again. The only possible change I made 
to my system was opening or closing IIRC an 
unrelated windows application. Maybe that was 
it?

Maybe I shouldn't try chmod-ing a file that 
is on a network share and mapped locally to 
Z:/ and mounted to /home/pbuckley for cygwin?

The discussion is in two threads- 

"chmod/chown + ntsec doesn't work"
"OpenSSH and RSA authentication problem"

Your mouse has moved.
Windows NT must be restarted for the change to take effect.
Reboot now?  [OK]
