Re: chmod Not Working

When I type the following sequence of commands:

cd ~; mkdir sample; chmod -R 0700 sample; stat -c "%a %u %g" sample;
rm -rf sample; mkdir sample; chmod -R 0755 sample; stat -c "%a %u %g"
sample

the output is:

770 1001 513
775 1001 513

Why is chmod not working?

OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
Cygwin Setup.exe Version: 2.831 (32-bit)

That looks fine to me.
What do you expect?
