You seem to be using an NT version of Emacs in conjunction with Cygwin. 
 While that does to some extent work (I'm doing that myself sometimes), 
it isn't a supported combination as the filename quoting rules on either 
side are completely different.  It is much easier to run Emacs from 
Cygwin instead and have _all_ of it work than trying to troubleshoot 
each missed path conversion or botched quoting.
