Which would be easier, by the way.

xcacls index.html /G sholden:F None:EW Everyone:E /Y

will give -rwxrw-r--

xacls index.html /G sholden:F None:R Everyone:E /Y

will give -rwxr-xr-- 

R (Read) translate to read and execute. 
E will give read

And check if you use a none english windows because windows translates None and Everyone. (My german windows calls this Kein and Jeder)

As i said before, cygwin only uses windows permissions they can't work around ntfs access rights. You probably get confused by the mapping that has to be done.
Take getfacls in cygwin to look at file permission if more acls have been set.
