cannot delete /bin/manpath.exe


when trying to delete from explorer: 'Cannot delete manpath.exe: Access is denied. The source file may be in use.'

when trying to view the security tab from explorer: 'You only have permission to view the current security information on manpath.exe.'

when trying to delete from cmd: 'Access is denied'

when trying to rmdir /s from cmd: 'cygwin\bin\manpath.exe.lnk - Access is denied'

when trying to rm from cygwin: 'rm: cannot unlink 'manpath.exe': Permission denied'

i have already tried reinstalling cygwin and deleting, doing various chowns/chgrps (presently the file is administrator:root and does allow chowns), and i have already rebooted. os is win2k advanced server sp3 with an ntfs filesystem (hardware ide raid5).

please respond via direct email in addition to the list.
