Did you try using  " -p, --preserve               preserve file
attributes if possible" flag?

Thanks

Subject: cp and permission


I'm using Windows7 64 bit with IDE 6.4.1 (also with 4.7 with same
result).  We have projects with custom makefile that uses the cp command
( $(QNX_HOST)/usr/bin/cp  ). If the 6.4.1 tools are used all is fine,
but if the 6.3.2 tools are used the destination file ends up having no
permission (for all users) and becomes unreadable and unwritetable.

I had a similar problem and used "icacls ... /reset" to fix.  I determined that the "cp" command was not preserving the 
copied file's access control list (ACL).  You can use the "icacls" to display and compare the ACLs of the source and 
destination file.  The solution I settled on is to "icacls dest-file /reset" after the "cp" command.  This resets the 
file's ACL to the default permissions, which includes read / write in my setup.

FWIW, I think it's a problem with QNX630's CYGWIN distro running on Windows 7, therefore not a problem on subsequent QNX
 versions that drop CYGWIN.

Hope this helps.
