In order to do that we'd need to know exactly what you are doing. 
Otherwise we're just guessing. You stated "Here is the command line I'm 
running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash --login C:\test\test.sh" but you didn't 
allude to how exactly you are running this. If from Start: Run for 
example, have you tried just running bash --login and then echo'ing out 
the $CYGWIN environment variable? Have you tried reading up on what is a 
local environment variable is, how it is set and how it is in effect 
under Windows? Because it seems to me it's clear that bash doesn't see 
$CYGWIN as having nodosfilewarning set into it. If it did it would work. 
Also note that's a long value - are you sure you have typed it correctly 
(Sorry I don't have access to Windows right now to check this).

Yes, right. Well stop that! :-)

Being as Chris is the project manager for Cygwin (and an all around nice 
and competent guy) I can pretty much guarantee you that yes he did test 
it. Wait... He just posted and yes he did do it. This leads me to ask - 
did you try it? Exactly that, what Chris posted? And if you did and it 
failed can you provide evidence?
