If you run strace on chmod with smbntsec on, do you see error messages
from inside the security.cc sources (get_nt_object_security,
get_info_from_sd, etc)?  If so, I'd be interested to see them, even if
it's just out of curiosity.

No, don't let umask blind you ;)

What you see is what Cygwin does.  The umask is taken into account when
faking file permissions on file systems not being capable of retrieving
the data by using Windows' file security API.  You will see the same on
FAT, for instance.

Cool.

Sigh.  What happened to the good old, clear and simple plain C API?
