Not a problem, although cygcheck output would have sped things up.

Actually, from either a DOS or a bash (or other cygwin) shell, you can do:

tar cvf test.tar /cygdrive/c/test

Get used to POSIX paths - cygwin is a Linux emulation for Windows, and
POSIX paths will work in more places than DOS paths (not to mention that
backslashes are a pain to use on the command line with regards to proper
quoting rules between the two different styles of shells, but forward
slashes work great in both cases).
