Non-Cygwin programs don't understand POSIX paths.  
Unless you've performed some emacs wizardry, that
path won't lead you to anything.  If you do have
some wizardry in there, you might still find you 
need the ".exe" on the end.

Not sure about this one.  'getfacl' might help.  You 
could try removing "ntea" from your CYGWIN environment 
variable, in case you're getting some weird conflict.
