To some extent.  It seems to indicate that you are running different 
versions of the Cygwin package on these different machines.  I have a
machine here running 1.1.8 which reports the path in POSIX form as well.
The other machine, running Cygwin 1.3.6-2, reports DOS-style paths.

Look at the DLL version information at the end of the cygcheck output.
That should confirm this difference.  I'm not sure that this has much
bearing on your problem however.
