Maybe it's because of the space in the name "Program Files". I had this
problem when I set up my JAVA_HOME, which is also subdirectory of "Program
Files". I renamed the directory, instead of "Program files", to "Progra~1",
i.e. /cygdrive/c/Progra~1/..., which worked fine. Somebody said .../Program\
Files/... also works, but it was not in my case. Good luck.

I've never used mixtex, so I'm just making this up. But: it's
possible that mixtex has accidentally invoked the Cygwin version of
pdfeTeX, instead of its own. Try putting miktex's directory on the
front of your PATH, like this:
$ PATH=/cygdrive/c/Program Files/texmf/miktex/bin:$PATH latex
myfile.tex
