Excellent idea, especially considering that it's not really a Cygwin
problem at that point. ;-)

I think the "Unable to access..." error message is actually coming from
java.exe.  That's likely because the cd before the java call failed
first, so you're not in the directory you expect to be when java is
started.  Make sure you don't have a typo in that path to which you're
trying to cd.

You may also consider replacing the ; in the command with && so that the
java command is never run if the cd fails.
