Any ideas why? tilde expansion is a shell feature, not cygpath's. bash is doing it, ash isn't. cygwin itself is doing it too, but only when application is run from windows shell, not from other cygwin application. that's why your last command expanded tilde correctly. anyway, "cygpath" has nothing to do with tilde expansion.
