Sorry for any confusion.  I'm using the GMane mail to nntp gateway to read and 
respond.

I was just thinking about that.  Yes, you could likely use Services for Unix to 
mount the drive, and use the SFU "chmod" tools to change the permissions.  But I 
don't know if SFU supports using standard Win32 calls to change permissions via 
NFS, or if SFU has it's own API for handling NFS permission changes.  If SFU 
uses a separate API, then the cygwin "chmod" is unlikely to work.
