Works fine for me.  If I'm admin, writing works, if I'm not admin,
writing fails with permission denied.  Could you please send your
cygcheck output per http://cygwin.com/problems.html as well as an
strace which shows what happens, like this:

  $ strace -o vim.trace vim-nox /etc/hosts
  :wq!


Thanks,
