This morning I had an idea. While we were looking into the ACL, we neglected the DOS attributes. When you call `attrib' on one of the files for which you didn't call chmod yet, is the R/O attribute set? If so, it *could* explain why Cygwin thought it has successfully deleted the file, but it hasn't. I also might have a workaround for this.
