Now the directories are owned by Administrators, not bdemchak, but both ls and getfacl agree that all three directories in the chain grant rwx permissions to everyone along the way, so I see nothing obvious that would prevent you (or bash) from being able to create a file in /tmp. You've reached the end of my knowledge on this matter, and it may come down to what Chris Faylor asked - are you running any background program that might be interfering with normal Windows operation by keeping file descriptors open longer than they are needed? For example, some antivirus scanners or desktop search programs have been known to get in cygwin's way. You may want to try setting the environment variable TMPDIR to some other directory before running bash (editing cygwin.bat is one way to try this) to see if that helps matters at all. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
