Thanks for the report!  There are enough things to track down here that
I opened a bug report, and put you on the Cc.

AIUI the canonicalize_path binding that gnulib provides for mingw ends
up shelling out to `rm' and other commands.  They claim that it is
reasonable to install these on a mingw system; I don't know.  But is it
possible that you don't have these files?

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/25451/focus=25466.

Let's deal with the first one first.
