Cygwin appears to be appending unnessesary permissions to the files I create/modify...

It's just that I seem to be having problems when restoring Duplicity backups. The Duplicity backups seem to be restored just fine. But Duplicity always complains with "Permission denied" errors, which I don't like. I wrote a short script <http://pastebin.com/Xqkii5fB> that I hoped would prepare the permissions, which failed... John SH $ ./restore.sh Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
