Hi

I think my problem appeared after upgrading to cygwin  1.7.7 but it might h=
ave been present before that as well, I am not sure.

I'm using a file share with Offline Folders such that I can access it when =
not connected to our intranet. In cygwin I cannot remove any files that I c=
reate on the share when it's offline:=20

  $  touch /xxx/testfile
  $ rm /xxx/testfile
  rm: cannot remove `/xxx/testfile': Permission denied

I can create/modify the files without trouble, but not delete them. I can d=
elete the file with Windows Explorer. getfacl doesn't show anything strange=
. I can delte the file once the file share gets @connected@ again. Everythi=
ng works fine on my local disks.=20

This happens both when specifying the file share, or when using a drive let=
ter:

  $ mount //fileserver/myusername$ /xxx

  $ mount h: /xxx

Some extra info:
$ net use
New connections will be remembered.
Status       Local     Remote                    Network
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
----
OK           H:        \\fileserver\myusername$               Microsoft Win=
dows Network
The command completed successfully.

after mounting the file share explicitly
$ mount |grep xxx
//fileserver/myusername$ on /xxx type ntfs (binary,notexec,user)


Anyone any suggestions?

Thanks!

Kris
