Wow! Yes, this does indeed look suspicious. Since I only have Win2k to
play with, can someone with WinXPPro verify this behavior? Hopefully it's
a local configuration thing...
A WAG: "at" runs as LocalSystem (a.k.a. SYSTEM). Does g:\cygwin\bin\bash
have execute permissions for everyone? Also, try making the executable
name "g:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe" instead.

P.S. This isn't really Cygwin-specific, but since getting a system-owned
shell is useful for detecting all kinds of service problems, I think this
may be still on-topic.
