With cygdrive prefix = /, from the root directory of a drive (e.g., /c = c:\ or /h = h:\), when asking for the absolute unix path with -au, cygpath doubles the / between the drive letter and the first directory of the path.
/h> echo Home | cygpath -au -f - /h//Home /h> echo Home | cygpath -aw -f - h:\Home This does not happen when one is not in the root directory of the drive. /h> cd Home /h/Home> echo cartoons | cygpath -au -f - /h/Home/cartoons /h/Home> echo cartoons | cygpath -aw -f - h:\Home\cartoons This does not happen when /h> cd .. /h> echo Home\\cartoons | cygpath -au -f - /h//Home/cartoons /h> echo Home/cartoons | cygpath -aw -f - h:\Home\cartoons This is with cygwin 1.5, everything up to date. Note that this also happens on C:.
