I created a share with the same permissions as above on a pre-Vista
machine, just as your share. The sharing permissions are set to
"Change" for everyone. I then tried to create a file from another
machine using the same echo command in bash. I can not reproduce your
problem. Creating the file worked fine.
So I have no idea why this fails for you. Maybe it's something with
the share permissions or whatever. Perhaps an strace shows what fails.
Try
$ strace -o bash.trace bash -c 'echo foo2 > /cygdrive/z/.cpan/build/foo2'
and send the bash.trace file, then we can have a look.
