CHMOD Error While Running on Windows

[pnewhook]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup Narwhal on windows using the directions from
http://narwhaljs.org/quick-start.html but I run into a problem when I
try to run tusk init hello-web
Here are my steps:

1. Clone git://github.com/gmosx/narwhal.git to C:\gmosx\narwhal
2. Add C:\gmosx\narwhal\bin to my path
3. cd to C:\gmosx
4. run "narwhal narwhal\examples\hello" this returns "Hello, World!"
5. run "narwhal narwhal\examples\narwhal" I see the narwhal, very
pretty.
6. still following the quick start guide i run "narwhal --help" this
gets the listing of narwhal commands
7. run "tusk help" This gets me the list of tusk commands.
8. I then run "tusk init hello-web" This is where things start to go
wrong.

the following directory structure is created at C:\gmosx
hello-web
.tusk
bin
sea
lib

but I get the following error

org.mozilla.javascript.WrappedException: Wrapped java.io.IOException:

Now I know almost nothing about Linux but I do understand that chmod
is a permission thing. I looked into narwhal\lib\narwhal\tusk\init.js
and saw the only mention of chmod is on line line 35 where it says
sea.chmod(0755);

As a Windows user, how can I get past this? Ultimately I'm trying to
install Jack and put in NitroJS

I realize this is a more Narwhal focused question, but because I'm
using the Nitro patch I thought I'd see what this group thought. Is
there a step I can skip if I want to use Nitro?

This is something we should fix in Narwhal; would you mind posting an
issue ticket that "fs.chmod" does not work on Windows?

Should that be on the trobinson/narwhal github issue log?

Hrm. We should find a way to move those to 280north's repo, but use
Tom's for now.
