Exactly right.

> Please also provide the "cat /mnt/c/file1" and "cat /mnt/c/file2" from UoW.

From the Cygwin shell (note that my Cygwin and Windows home directories
are the same: /home/cowan is a Cygwin symlink to /cygdrive/c/Users/cowan):

cowan AT large-skunk ~
$ echo stuff >file1

cowan AT large-skunk ~
$ cat file1
stuff

cowan AT large-skunk ~
$ ls -l file1
-rw-r--r--+ 1 cowan cowan 6 Apr 13 08:57 file1

From cmd.exe:

c:\Users\cowan>echo stuff >file2

c:\Users\cowan>type file2
stuff

From UoW bash prompt:

root AT localhost:~# cd /mnt/c/Users/cowan
root AT localhost:/mnt/c/Users/cowan# cat file1
cat: file1: Permission denied
root AT localhost:/mnt/c/Users/cowan# cat file2
stuff
root AT localhost:/mnt/c/Users/cowan# ls -l file1 file2
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Apr 13 12:57 file1
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Apr 13 12:57 file2

As you can see, they look exactly the same but are different somehow.
What is more, if I use cmd.exe echo to append to file1 and Cygwin echo
to append to file2, it changes nothing.  Likewise, if I overwrite them
completely, it changes nothing.  Only if I remove them and re-create
them from the "wrong" side does file1 become readable and file2 become
unreadable.

This is 64-bit Windows on an NTFS file system, but 32-bit Cygwin.  I'll
try installing Cygwin64 tonight and seeing if that makes any difference.
