Problems with file permissions and cp when running on Vista


I'm getting problems copying files when running on my vista machine. I've got full vista UAC control turned on.

I have a source file, and if I do getfacl I get:
$ getfacl analysisLanguageResults.gif
# file: analysisLanguageResults.gif
# owner: Tom
# group: None
user::---
group::---
group:SYSTEM:rwx
group:Administrators:rwx
group:Users:r-x
mask:rwx
other:---

If I copy the file with CP, the result has
# file: analysisLanguageResults.gif
# owner: Tom
# group: None
user::---
group::---
mask:rwx
other:---

As a result I can't read the resulting file, all I get is access denied.

I'm sure there's some cygwin setup I can do to fix this, but I kind of hoped it would work out of the box.


Any ideas on how to make this work without having to chmod each file I copy?
