I find ACL's do not work they way I expect on NTFS. Eventually directories which I use chmod and chown on become unusable for general actives. For example, I regularly install applications on my e: drive. However, because I have used chmod and chown to correct problems there before, the disk is now in a state where everything I install is owned by "docbill" and I'm the only one who can install applications. Even then I regularly have to do something like chmod -R 775 /cygdrive/e during an install because directories are created with insufficient permission to install components. I'm fairly certain this is related to the ACL settings...
