You may have more immediate results by using a Windows-native SSHFS
implementation.  I haven't used Dokan myself, but it appears promising:

It's basically a FUSE implementation for Windows that includes an SSHFS
client.  There is also another one that seems related:

http://code.google.com/p/win-sshfs/

Assuming you can get one of these to work for you, you'll have the
advantage of using it not only with Cygwin programs but native ones as well.
