This is probably a problem with $PATH when not running an interactive
shell, like this:

  $ echo $PATH
  /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/bin
  $ type hostname
  hostname is /usr/bin/hostname

  $ ssh localhost 'echo $PATH'
  /usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/bin
  $ ssh localhost type hostname
  hostname is /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/hostname
