You are using NT emacs, right? NT emacs is not a cygwin program (it
could
possibly be compiled with cygwin tools. Anybody tried this?) and
therefore
doesn't recognize cygwin style paths with a specified drive or paths
containing "mounted" directories. As you see emacs strips the first
leading '/' and thinks the rest is a valid windows path, which it is
not!
