I don't see anything here that necessitates using a mount or 8.3.

sjaprog="/cygdrive/c/program\ files/whatever/sja.exe"

"$sjaprog" $sjascript

OR

sjarun="\"$sjaprog\" $sjascript"
$sjarun

I fail to see the need for the variable $sjarun if its only function is
to be the command that's executed on the next line.
