I believe such file permission issues for xcrysden/cygwin happen when
xcrysden is installed on non-cygwin area. I noticed that usually from
cygwin one does not have enough permissions to alter the files which are
under non-cygwin area. 
(it's also true my cygwin/windows experience is \approx 0)

I suggest you move your xcrysden installation under the cygwin, i.e., in
$HOME directory or something similar.
