chmod not doing anything in Cygwin

I've got a bash script that I want to make executable in Cygwin. So I ran chmod 755 file.sh but it does nothing. Here is the file before and after the chmod command:

-rw-r--r-- 1 Myname None  234 Mar 29 17:05 file.sh

Any idea how to make it work?

Ok I found out what the issue was. It's because I had changed my /etc/fstab file to fix another issue with file permissions, specifically I had it setup like this:

none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,noacl,posix=0,user 0 0

but since it's causing problems, I've now restored it to its default state:

none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

And no more issues with chmod.
