Try doing a 'ls /cygdrive'.  What do you see?

/cygdrive is valid only when it is followed by a single character,
/cygdrive/a, /cygdrive/c, etc.  Otherwise, the string /cygdrive has
no special meaning to cygwin and /cygdrive is not considered to be
a directory containing all of the available drives.
