I thought I had tried a noacl mount of the share on /usr/home and it had no effect on the problem. But given your suggestion I tried again and low and behold... It worked. noacl is the key.. > See the Users Guide for details on setting up > a new mount point in Cygwin 1.7. Be careful not to mount the SAMBA > server directory under /cgdrive. The home directories are mounted by the OS, not cygwin, on the U: drive. So I am not clear on how to get that to be "noacl" for /cygdrive/u (where previously version put it). But this got me over a hurdle, thanks.
