The "#!" construct must always refer to a binary,
never to another script (to avoid loops?). I ran into the same issue.
The UNIX standard is what I just said, but earlier (and current?)
cygwin versions (wrongly) sorta supported a script. In 1.3.20 it works
about 2 out of 5 times or so - if you try a similar approach on
a UNIX box it will fail *every* time.
Years back there was a cygwin tool called dbash.exe to support
what your trying to do.
Try "man execve" on a UNIX box for more on the "#!" construct.
You just need to rethink your workaround..
I'm sure others can correct some of what I just said, but I believe
is mostly right ;->
