What on earth does this have to do with DFSR? If this is a restriction
in DFSR, then how would anybody be able to use it on files created under
Interix? As POSIX environments, Interix and Cygwin set file and
directory permissions POSIX-like, in an (almost) identical fashion. If
POSIX permissions really break DFSR, I'd complain at Microsoft.
However, I'm wondering if that's not just a problem in your setup.

Note that it won't work anymore in Cygwin 1.7. See the mount option
noacl instead:

None. It's a leftover from the past. Since applications called
through sshd are always running in a pseudo tty, the option has no
effect.
