There's something weird in your bash settings. Usually bash will fold the backslashes before using the string as argument to the child process. See the behaviour with echo: $ echo \a a $ echo \\a \a $ echo "\a" \a $ echo "\\a" \a $ echo '\a' \a $ echo '\\a' \\a So what cygpath gets as argument in your first example is usually \DAEMON1anrdaemon.profile I don't know what the difference in your settings is, though. Something with readline, maybe.
