Andy,

DISCLAIMER: I know nothing about expect, I don't use it, I don't even have 
it installed.

However, even without having used expect, the underlined lines above look 
suspicious.  According to <http://www.cygwin.com/packages/expect/>, the 
latest version of the expect package for Cygwin is 20030128-1, *not* 5.26.  
Also, according to the package listing of expect-20030128-1, the "expect" 
program resides in /usr/bin, *not* /usr/local.bin...  Looks like you're 
not using Cygwin's expect, and so your question is off-topic for this 
list.  On the off chance that you *are* using the Cygwin expect package, 
and just aren't reporting the versions and paths correctly, please review

and follow the guidelines, especially the bit about attaching the output 
of "cygcheck -svr".
	Igor
