Output of
c:\> bash -c "echo $PATH"

Path without quotes:
C:\davor>bash -c "echo $PATH"
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/Executive Software/Diskeeper/:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/Microsoft SQL Server/80/Tools/Binn/:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/UltraEdit:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/ATI 
Technologies/ATI.ACE/:/cygdrive/c/davor/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/SecureCRT 3.0

Path with quotes:
C:\davor>bash -c "echo $PATH"
"C:/WINDOWS/system32":/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/Executive Software/Diskeeper/:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/Microsoft SQL Server/80/Tools/Binn/:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/UltraEdit:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/ATI 
Technologies/ATI.ACE/:/cygdrive/c/davor/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/SecureCRT 3.0

...looks like when path is with quotes it is not converted into 
/cygdrive/c/* path.

When Path has quotes, rsync does work when invoked from bash, it only 
fails to work when invoked from command prompt.
