'chmod' is the program that sets readable permission. It does whatever Windows magic is required to match the Posix command line semantics. The cygwin path is not the true windows path. So, when Java runs it gets the true path which has no Cygwin.
You have to add c:\cygwin\bin to the windows path variables. This happens in Computer->Properties->Advanced System Settings-> Environment Variables. Now, for those of you snickering- I am about to hose down my Mac with Linux because the key mappings make macos unusable, and I'm leaving my Windows laptop alone.
