  'What do you get from "ls -l
/cygdrive/u/dl/Jython/jython/dist/jython.bat"?' is not the same question as
'Can you run it?'

  This isn't windoze, this is *nix.  We don't decide if a file is an
executable by looking at the last four characters of its filename; we look
and see if it has the unix 'x' perm for (user, group, other) as appropriate.

  Your .bat file may be executable, in practice, but that doesn't mean it
has the x perm applied; it could just be a side-effect of a mountpoint with
the -x flag.

  So give us the ls -la output along with your cygcheck.

    cheers, 
      DaveK
