Huh?  Those look like POSIX paths to me.

Sounds to me like the problem is that the directory with 'cygwin1.dll'
in it is missing from your path in whatever shell/console you're
running 'jam.exe' from.  If that's not true, perhaps it's best to back
up and provide us with a step-by-step sequence that reproduces the
problem in context.  Having full path names with spaces in your path
is not a guaranteed problem.
