Follow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9561759/why-cannot-chmod-in-
cygwin-on-windows-8-cp (Robert's Solution)
or see below
Look up the group ID of the "Users" group in /etc/group (or the
equivalent group name for your locale).
In my installation this was 545, YMMV cat /etc/group|egrep '^Users:'
will get you the correct line. the third field on the line is the group
id. (cat /etc/group|egrep '^Users:'|cut -f3 -d':' to just get the id).
Edit your /etc/passwd file. Locate the record for your user. The 4th
field is the "primary group" for the user. It is incorrectly set to a
non-existent group. Change that number to the number you found in step 1
above. Save the etc password file.
Close any open cygwin windows/terminals and then open a new one. Create
a new file. It should have a group of "Users" and you should be able to
change it's permissions as desired.
