Are you running the tests under an elevated admin account? If so, the reason you are able to create dirs is that the SE_BACKUP_NAME and SE_RESTORE_NAME user privileges are enabled when running in a Cygwin environment. Don't run the affected tests from an elevated session or strip the privileges from the user token using the cygdrop tool from the cygutils package when running these tests.
