That's not even valid batch syntax.  You want

set LINE=/dev/ttyS0
c:\Programme\cygwin\bin\bash -c "/bin/tload.exe -l %LINE% %1"

Yes.  Use single quotes.  For example, the below should work:

set LINE=/dev/ttyS0
c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c '/bin/tload.exe -l %LINE% "`/bin/cygpath -a -i %1`"'

(you need to quote the output of cygpath as well, as that may contain
spaces).
