(Resuming an earlier discussion ...)

In my Cygwin environment, I can invoke tar with Windows-style pathnames,
i.e, "tar -cf C:/temp/foo.tar ."  My non-Cygwin users can't; for them, the
"C:" is interpreted as a remote machine name and they get "cannot execute
remote shell".

What is the correct solution to this problem?
