I'm doing this on a fat32 partition...
OK, that's the problem then. I guess you didn't read the FAQ entry:
Why doesn't chmod work? <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC45>
chmod does nothing on FAT drives unless you're running some version of NT and you're willing to incur the overhead of a large file in your root (enabled by setting 'ntea' in your CYGWIN environment variable).
