There's only one reason for chmod to fail.  Apparently your netapp drive
reports to have persistent ACLs but then returns an error when trying to
set an ACL.  It's incredible how many broken filesystems are out in the
wild.

Please run the /usr/share/csih/getVolInfo tool on the drive and
pate the output into your reply.

Did you try to strace chmod to see what happens?

Last but not least, did you try to mount the drive with the noacl
option?  http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
