I don't understand your example. What's wrong? Hmm, ok, I assume
you expect a `Permission denied' when trying to ls 400/400, right?
This is not HE specific, it's default for all NT versions. It's
a user right called "Bypass traverse checking" which is by default
given to everyone! It means, when accessing a file, the system
only checks your permissions on the file but not your permissions
on the directories in the file's path. No chance to do that 100%
POSIX compliant since it's not in the responsibility of Cygwin to
change user rights. And we decided not to simulate that behaviour.
Cygwin is already slow enough.

Ok, check the *full* permissions using getfacl. You'll be surprised,
probably... Don't forget that an ACL contains more than just three
entries.
