See above. The permissions from Cygwin shell look correct. It's the
UID, GID that don't translate back to windows, because this not a domain.

There are no problems under Cygwin. On Bash shell, all cp(1), mv(1)
and editors (nanoe, joe) write operations continue to work as usual.
For some reason Emacs thinks that all files are write protected.
The Disk drive has been mapped with Standard Windows "Map network
drive" feature.
