I have a similar problem, except that I do get a message (file not found).
I have been puzzling over why zip could not be invoked from my default
directory (nor found by "type zip") even though it could be invoked from a
higher or lower directory or as zip.exe.  After reading this thread, I
removed subdirectory "zip" from my root and the problem vanished.  This
occurred with XP Pro and a recent installation of cygwin.  On Windows 98 and
and old installation, the problem does not occur.
