This sounds like a Windows maintenance issue. While you can use Cygwin
tools to manipulate the NTFS ACLs I'd be inclined to look at native
tools, probably using a Powershell script if you need to automate it. If
you use setfacl on paths outside your 'Cygwin domain' it's going to mess
up the more normal Windows/NTFS ACL usage especially the inheritance and
ordering.
