Ltsdo-adefaria:/usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo //fs-irva-82/adefaria
Device Type        : 7
Characteristics    : 10
Volume Name        : <CIFS.HOMEDIR>
Serial Number      : 0
Max Filenamelength : 255
Filesystemname     : <FAT>
Flags              : 40007
   FILE_CASE_SENSITIVE_SEARCH  : TRUE
   FILE_CASE_PRESERVED_NAMES   : TRUE
   FILE_UNICODE_ON_DISK        : TRUE
   FILE_PERSISTENT_ACLS        : FALSE
   FILE_FILE_COMPRESSION       : FALSE
   FILE_VOLUME_QUOTAS          : FALSE
   FILE_SUPPORTS_SPARSE_FILES  : FALSE
   FILE_SUPPORTS_REPARSE_POINTS: FALSE
   FILE_SUPPORTS_REMOTE_STORAGE: FALSE
   FILE_VOLUME_IS_COMPRESSED   : FALSE
   FILE_SUPPORTS_OBJECT_IDS    : FALSE
   FILE_SUPPORTS_ENCRYPTION    : FALSE
   FILE_NAMED_STREAMS          : TRUE
   FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME       : FALSE
   FILE_SEQUENTIAL_WRITE_ONCE  : FALSE
   FILE_SUPPORTS_TRANSACTIONS  : FALSE

My guess is that FILE_PERSISTENT_ACLS: FALSE is not a good sign.

Is this related to this thread: 
http://old.nabble.com/NetAPP---cygwin-1.7.7-1-avoid-Recycle-BIN-dot-files-td30236482.html?

In the next reply you advocate me getting a more recent "snapshot". Did 
you mean a more recent "release" or do you want me to move to 
"snapshots" (which I assume are sorta like betas. Skimming some of the 
history (sorry I have a meeting fast approaching) this seems like a 
fairly recent development. Has there been a resolution? (Gotta go, will 
check back later).

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
