Matt,
Just got another idea. See if this helps: <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#AEN733>
I believe the @argFileName syntax only works when a non-Cygwin program invokes a Cygwin program.
I cannot make the example given in the user guide section you mention work as shown (under BASH). It does work when run from CMD.exe.
