Looks like the cygwin permissions are user: everything, anybody else:
nothing.  AFAIK, Cygwin doesn't use NT user permissions.  You'll need to do
'chmod a+rwx' on the directory as the user who created it (Everybody).
Unfortunately, you probably don't have an 'Everybody' user.  You should
probably try deleting the directory from explorer and recreating it in
cygwin.

Hope this helps.
