Hi Jonathan,

My comments probably won't help your situation but I've found a gotcha in your
environment that not many are aware of.

I notice that your HOME variable is using the pseudo mount point /cygdrive.

I notice that your /cygdrive variable is set to process in text mode (DOS
sytle) line endings.

I notice that all of your other mounts are in binary mode (UNIX sytle) line
endings.

The problem is that if you process files in and out of your home directory they
will have \r\n line endings while all of the other devices have \n line
endings.  I assume from the fact that you have all mount points in binary mode
that you really want to process all files in binary mode.  To change the
/cygdrive pseudo mount point to binary mode do `mount -s -b
--change-cygdrive-prefix /cygdrive'.

HTH,
