Actually, when I create files by Cygwin tools only (touch, nano, ....), the access rights are always correct. Indeed, even after removing the extended ACL entries - as was suggested in the FAQ -, the problem still appears. However, I have a new finding: When I create a file from a CMD.EXE command line, by i.e. echo xx > abc.rb the access rights *do* have the x-bits set! This is reproducible, but only when the file which was created, is below my Cygwin tree! I agree that this smells a lot like an extended ACL issue, but as I said, setacl -b provided no help.
