Ugh, top-posting.  Reformatted.

A workaround for this issue could be something like

exec "$ARTS_EXPECT" -n -N "`cygpath -u "$0"`" "$@"

(note also the quotes around $ARTS_EXPECT -- it may contain spaces).

As for why this is happening, perhaps you could look at what the path
conversion produces for this -- browsing through the output of "strace"
should be instructive.  Please don't post that output, though...
HTH,
