It seems that LaTeX can process the file without problems, so
for some strange reason, ly2dvi isn't able to call latex correctly.

Could you please run
ly2dvi -p --debug example-1.ly
and send a copy of the output.

I installed cygwin using the instructions on the lilypond website, but the lilypond examples don't produce PDF files

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Thanks, Mats, for your speedy reply.

It's that Latex appears to be having indigestion on Lilypond's output.....
The file outputs (no PDF generated) are attached and the bash shell output is as 
follows:-

//* Response from Mats

I'm really puzzled, cannot recall having seen that error message before.
The question is if it comes from LaTeX. Try to run the command
latex example-1.latex
(I tried it here on the files you attached and it works just fine.)
