I ran out of time, but I've managed to install the snapshot and did a quick test before going home. The ACL looks saner than before and I can regain access via chmod, so that's good. The basic problem however remains and I'm really not sure if that's a bug in rsync or in Cygwin or even a bug at all. The file to be copied has, as stated before, access granted only via a share group (actually three of them, but that's not a factor). So CREATOR OWNER, CREATOR group, the original owner of the file and myself (owner of the newly created file) have no DACL entry on the original file and the resulting file mode is "---rwx---+". For "rsync -av" this means that after the copy the mode is set to 0060 and that explicitly locks out (via DENY) CREATOR OWNER CREATOR GROUP and myself. That gives the same POSIX modes, but not the same access rights of course. For "rsync -av --acls" the same happens and then some ACL are copied over from the original file, which still doesn't get me access since the DENY ACL is first in the list. This might be a hole in the ACL mapping to POSIX file modes. The way I see it the reported file mode should actually be "rwxrwx---+" for the original file since that's the effective access granted by Windows and there are no POSIX flags on the original file (via NULL SID). Just like on POSIX (where it's done via mask) the user flags can only be cleared in this situation by an explicit chmod (which then gets implemented via DENY ACL I suppose).
