I don't think so.  It's not recognized as Samba by Cygwin because
the FILE_PERSISTENT_ACLS flag is not set.  That should always be
set by Samba when faking an NTFS.  However, this gives us potentially
a lever to workaround your problem.

I've checked in a change to rmdir into CVS.  Please test your case
with the next developer's snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
and report back.


Thanks,
Corinna
