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.
