 '\' is "the escape character", compare to how it is used in C/C++ code. 

Try something similar to:

-- 
	$ DEV_ROOT='C:\gnu\emacs-21.2\workspaces'

	$ echo $DEV_ROOT
	C:\gnu\emacs-21.2\workspaces

-- 
	$ DEV_ROOT=C:\\gnu\\emacs-21.2\\workspaces

	$ echo $DEV_ROOT
	C:\gnu\emacs-21.2\workspaces

-- 
	$ DEV_ROOT=`cygpath -u 'C:\gnu\emacs-21.2\workspaces'`

	$ echo $DEV_ROOT

	/cygdrive/c/gnu/emacs-21.2/workspaces
-- 

... where using the last probably will be the least error prone (my guess).
