John,

If you trace this thread back a bit, you'll see that the cygpath that was
distributed with the current release of cygwin (compiled on July 6) is
broken.  Why it's broken is a mystery to me, as I've just recompiled it
from the 1.3.12-2 source package (using the w32api-1.5-1 sources), and it
works.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

I'm attaching a newly recompiled executable for the trusting souls.  Those
with a bit of healthy paranoia are welcome to recompile it themselves. ;-)
