Check the email archives for issues about Java and Cygwin paths.  The 
simple answer is that Java doesn't understand Cygwin paths unless you're
running a Cygwin version of Java (I doubt that's the case unless there is 
a Cygwin version out there that this list doesn't know about - a 
possibility I'll concede but unlikely).  You need to use Win32 paths with
Win32 Java.
