To check this, from the Windows command prompt (not the bash shell) do this: echo which cat > foo.sh bash foo.sh This should return something like /usr/bin/cat for the first line and then your complete path. If instead it returns something like /cygdrive/c/Program Files/PackageIForgotIEverInstalled/cat Then you've found your problem. Either rename the other cat or fiddle with the path to point to the cygwin version of cat first. If that doesn't do it, let us know and we'll dig a little deeper.
For anyone else who might encounter this, I just got an email reply from Alan Weir confirming that this was indeed the problem and the fix.
