Thank you so much for this temporary workaround. I tried setting up cygwin and sshpass on a coworker's machine, and we spent half the day getting frustrated with it. I finally updated it on my machine, and realized something must have broke between when I installed mine, and when we installed his.
Anyway, tried your fix, and we're back in business. Thanks!
