AFAICS the permissions on that network drive don't allow a user to set the ACL of a file he or she's just creating. In contrast to previous versions, Cygwin 1.7.9 requests the permission for that right at file creation time. Unfortunately that fails due to the weird permission settings on that drive. Try to mount your drive with the noacl option to some arbitrary mount point, for instance: mount -f -o noacl,binary X: /my_x_drive and then use the path below that mount point to access the drive. If that works, you can add the path to your personal fstab file (see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table): X: /my_x_drive none noacl,binary,posix=0 0 0 Please report back if it helped. If so, I'll add some workaround for this problem to the next Cygwin version.
