Does /tmp exist? If not create it.

Can you verify they/it exists eg.

$ ls -al /bin/ls.exe

? It would help, to diagnose your problems, if you send the output of
`cygcheck -svr' as a *non-compressed* plain-text attatchment. Also do you
have your environment set-up correctly?... Just thinking did you install
cygwin for a single user or for the whole system?
