Works for me, I just tested it on a local NTFS.  Is the file tree on
some remote FS by any chance?  If so, what Fs is it?  Some FSes are
known to have (not so) funny bugs when deviating from Windows defaults.
Or, was the CWD set the same way when calling mkdir vs. when calling cp?
If you use Windows path rather than POSIX paths, case sensitivity won't
work since WIndows paths ar handled with Windows default assumptions.

Bottom line is, I *know* it works, and it does so since Cygwin 1.7.1.
There must be some quirk in either your FS or in your path handling.


HTH,
Corinna
