Your shell script as CRLF-ending lines, while cygwin uses \n-ending
lines. The shell considers the CR at the end of script line 'cat "$@"'
as being part of the file name: there is no such file and the error
message is overwritten at display time.

A solution is to convert your script using dos2unix
