Start looking at it with a debugger. The bash function absolute_pathname() should report that c:/tmp is absolute. If it succeeds, set a breakpoint in change_to_directory() and see what it's doing. I'm not on the cygwin mailing list, and can't provide any debugging assistance right now, so contact me directly if you have more questions.
