Since version 1.26 of ddrescue EPERM errors are fatal because one should not 
be able to read data from a device one has no permission to read. I'm 
suprised that Cygwin allows ddrescue 1.25 read the data from /dev/sdg1.

I guess you'll need to enable read permission on /dev/sdg1 with chmod, but I 
don't really know because I don't use Windows.

Hope this helps,
Antonio.
