Ah... The problem seems to be that I have 'jde-cygwin-path-converter'
set to
'jde-cygwin-path-converter-cygpath'. This calls the cygwin command
'cygpath' which is the culprit of putting the backslashes in. Since
this command is shelled out, the directory-sep-char is a moot point. I
prefer to use the 'jde-cygwin-path-converter-cygpath' setting because it
allows more UNIX like paths in my settings - and when I can use relative
paths, UNIX to NT porting is easier.
Are there any other suggestions? Is there anything wrong with quoting
the directory in the "-d" option/
Thanks.

I set directory-path-sep to ?/ in my .emacs file for the rare times I
use
XEmacs (for testing JDE compatibility).This eliminates the need for
quoting. Note that the default separator under NT/Emacs is forward
slash.
I think it was a mistake on the part of the NT/XEmacs developers to make
the default separator a back slash. First, there was no need to do it as
Windows applications don't care whether the slash is forward or
backward.
Secondly, it makes life difficult for users who uses applications, such
as
bash, that treat the forward slash as an escape character.
