cygwin sets file permission to 000

by

Have a read through the answers at this link:
http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/vim-and-file-permissions-on-Windows-7-td61390.html

The solution there worked for me also:

Edit /etc/fstab and add this line at the end of the file:

none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,noacl,posix=0,user 0 0

Then close all Cygwin processes, open a new terminal and ls -l on your files again.

Explanation:
By default, Cygwin uses the filesystem’s access control lists (ACLs) to implement real POSIX permissions. Some Windows-native program or process may create or modify the ACLs such that Cygwin computes the POSIX permissions as 000. With the noacl mount option, Cygwin ignores filesystem ACLs and only fakes a subset of permission bits based on the DOS readonly attribute.
