touch failing on network share


I have a network share set up on my 
OS/2 box using HPFS.  On that share, 
I have  directory:  cygmanaged, and under that, I have
a directory tmp2.

So, I can mount this directory as:

mount --system --binary -omanaged z:/cygmanaged/tmp2 /tmp2,
and it looks like everything is fine.

But, when I try to 'touch' any file/directory on that mount, I get this
error:  touch: setting times of `cygwin-equivs/': Permission denied

However, I can vi/edit/rm/mv or do just about anything else that I 
want to the file.  I just can't seem to do a touch on it.

Does anyone have any insight into touch as to what it is doing that might
be causing the permissions problem?

Thanks.

I just tested this on the raw share (/cygdrive/z/foo) and it still fails.  So,
it is not a managed mount problem/issue, but something deeper.
