Use POSIX paths (i.e. /cygdrive/s). Here I think you've found an

How is that better than:
du /cygdrive/s

The OP claimed to have issues with spaces in directory paths, etc. Actually,
I can't reproduce that behavior based on his report, at least not on Linux
(I'm Cygwin-less ATM). So the above is offered as something to try to help
the OP zero in on the problem. Perhaps it is just his use of non-POSIX paths,
in which case using POSIX paths is the best and simplest alternative.
