Unacceptable seems a moral judgement, for this reason
I guess Peter is perplexed.

What about a more clear explanation of what do you expect
to obtain ? I have problem to understand your problem,
while Peter answer seems more obvious (to me).

Problem reports:       http://cygwin.com/problems.html

In general the "\" is used as escape character so unquoted
it just preserves the next character

\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile
is equivalent to
"\DAEMON1anrdaemon.profile"
