To recap, making three nested directories  on a non-C drive produces a
third level which is unusable.

davec@MERCURYWIN ~/python
$ rm -rf g1
davec@MERCURYWIN ~/python

The problem went away with Cygwin 2.5.0-0.7 but is back with 2.5.1-1,
and goes away when I downgrade back to 2.5.0-1

More info:  I tested on a couple of external drives and things worked
properly there.   Can I have screwed up the permissions on my D drive
so that cygwin gets confused but Windows still works?

thanks

It works fine for me.
"E:" is an external NTFS USB disk

$ mount
E:/cygwin64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
E:/cygwin64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
E:/cygwin64 on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
E: on /cygdrive/e type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

 $ cd /cygdrive/e/temp

 $ mkdir g1 g1/g2 g1/g2/g3

 $ ls -la g1 g1/g2 g1/g2/g3

I suggest to use icacls and eventually "setfacl -b"
for permission cleaning if needed.
