Thanks for the clarifications.  I can't use cacls on them as it comes
back saying the parameter is incorrect.  I should note that cacls is
depreciated on Vista and Windows 7 so icacls should be used instead
where available.  The command lines are different but they do the same
thing.

$ icacls Maildir
Maildir  No permissions are set. All users have full control.
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

That part explains it.  Webdrive has an option to enable NTFS Security
which makes them full access to pretty much any program.  I can see
the actual permissions through the programs panel.  Just wondering why
it doesn't put anything realistic on the files themselves.  Oh well.
This isn't a cygwin issue anyways.
