This isn't quite correct.
Matt is correct that it is a problem with the cygpath command, but it is the
"p" that you want to remove and not the "w", e.g.,
POSSE="`cygpath -wa ..."
This only occurs in the latest version of cygwin, for some reason. The -p is
supposed to cause the argument to cygpath to be treated as a "path", such that
colons are interpreted as PATH delimiters. It probably was broken before and
now works properly. At any rate, we do not want this behavior. An issue has
already been logged for this
http://www.possenet.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8141.
Also make sure you explicitly set your "TMPDIR" environment variable to a
valid directory path using Windows path format; I think the new cygwin install
routine will create it using the cygdrive format. Pbuild defaults to using
the TMPDIR setting as the Progress -T value and Progress does not understand
cygdrive. There is also an issue for this problem:

Hi Rick,

This is a problem with the way the cygpath function behaves in winXP.
It used to interpret the c: in the environment variable as part of the
path. Now it mistakes it for a path delimiter and replaces the colon
with a semi colon. I have also run into this using pbuild on a winXP
machine.

You need to do a couple of things. First there is a section several
lines down that defines what the TEMPDIR directory setting is. You'll
need to manually change this to a hard-coded value so that it no longer
uses the environment variable. There are two, make sure you get the one
for cygwin.

Change the lines to change the switches passed to the cygpath variable
to -wa (remove the p) so that it reads

POSSE="`cygpath -pa ..."

Hope this helps.
