I've read that page multiple times, and it still looks greek to me. :/ 
What I know is, the CIFS drive is mounted as the user "build".  The user I 
log into windows with is "build".  The user cygwin runs under is "build". 
So all 3 of those match.  I don't see why there's any issue at all 
determining who owns the files.

build@zre-win-002 ~
$ id build
uid=503(build) gid=513(None) groups=513(None)

build@zre-win-002 ~
$ grep build /etc/passwd
build:unused:503:513:U-ZRE-WIN-002\build,S-1-5-21-1229272821-2049760794-1417001333-1003:/home/build:/bin/bash

build@zre-win-002 ~
$ grep 513 /etc/group
None:S-1-5-21-1229272821-2049760794-1417001333-513:513:
