What does "which latex" say?

I ask because of:

> Warning: D:\cygwin\bin\tar.exe hides C:\Program Files\CatPC\Windows\System32\tar.ex

That leads me to believe you might have some rogue *ix like programs 
running around somewhere other than d:\cygwin.

Other curious things in your cygcheck output:

> Warning: Mount entries should not have a trailing (back)slash

You might want to fix that.  But also:

> c:\              /c         system  text

...repeat for multiple drives...

> cygdrive prefix  /cygdrive  user    binary,auto

You can probably simplify your fstab like so:

     D:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin ntfs binary 0 0
     D:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib ntfs binary 0 0
     none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

The last line automatically gets rid of the "/cygdrive" path part, so 
all drive letters appear at the root of the Cygwin path tree.

And I can't help but ask:

> USER = 'dasbinich'

Exodus 3:14? :)
