 Hrm? What is this?

Changed cygwin.bat, rebooted, launched cygwin.bat...

$ cat /cygwin.bat
@echo off

C:
chdir C:\Program\cygwin\bin

set CYGWIN="tty notitle glob check_case:strict"

REM PATH
REM HOME
REM TERM
REM LD_LIBRARY_PATH

bash -c 'rxvt -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i'

$ echo $CYGWIN
tty notitle glob

Ehhh? Where did the remainder go? Should it be like that?
(Tried with and without double quotes, rebooting inbetween
 to make sure that cygwin.dll was REALLY flushed)

$ ls
POCKETPC/  SDKREG.INI  SQLCE.CHM  evc/

$ mv POCKETPC/ pocketpc
mv: cannot overwrite directory `pocketpc/POCKETPC'

$ mv POCKETPC PocketPC
mv: cannot copy a directory, `POCKETPC', into itself, `PocketPC/POCKETPC'

Well...

$ mv POCKETPC/ ../p; mv ../p PocketPC; ls -l
total 1559

Last update "an hour" ago.


 Trying to do the uppper to lower case rename on a bunch of directories
seems to create just garbage. Of some peculiar reason I get:

example.


Might I say **HELP**! ;-/
It is late - am I tired or just outta luck?
