OK, you got it Chris. I see the correct behavior because I do have Cygwin installed in / rather than /cygwin (my drive is actually d:). So, it looks like bash doesn't do proper file name completion with DOS paths. While I don't really care about this, it is a "nice" feature to have. I guess that anyone who's interested in pursuing this feature can follow-up on this. In any case, the request you've made is in the archives so it won't get lost. Glad you figured this out and clarified this special case.
