This could be related to the problem discussed starting at

   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-11/msg00922.html

The issue there was ACLs on the temporary directory used by patch.  The 
resolution of that was to set TMP and TEMP to "/tmp" in Cygwin's default 
startup files (see /etc/defaults/profile).  But you appear to be running 
patch outside of a Cygwin shell, so you're not benefiting from that fix. 
  (I'm basing this guess on the fact that you start patch by giving its 
Windows path.)
