OK, I now know it has nothing to do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH - instead it's a cygdrive prefix issue.

I was changing the cygdrive mount in my own .bash_profile (via "mount --change-cygdrive-prefix /") because at the time I was not admin of the computer and couldn't edit /etc/profile or /etc/fstab. It seems this is too late: by the time my .bash_profile is evaluated, the PATH (or something else?) had already been set up and the paths are screwed. I fixed up the rights on Windows so I am admin now, /etc/fstab like so: none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0 And now I can execute the Windows commands as usual.
