Attached is my cygcheck.out file. From your cygcheck, you have some set of unix-like utilities in c:\bin. Check the setting of the PATH from within the cron job, as I would be willing to bet that your Cygwin bin directory is not in the path and that you're actually calling these non-Cygwin versions of those commands that have no idea what /home/tompagano is. The default install of Cygwin only modifies the PATH through the cygwin.bat file, not via the system-wide setting of PATH in the registry, so by default Cygwin is only in your path when you click on cygwin.bat to launch a bash prompt.
