Dealing with "odd" characters like \ and such can be a pain, huh?
Perhaps it will help you to know that bash will expand variables
inside double-quoted arguments, i.e., "${src}". (You can write
"$src" if you want, but over the years I am finding it clearer /
better to use the { } to make clear the name of the variable I
want expanded.)Also, you may find the cygpath utility helpful, and the $( ) idiom of bash. Thus:robocopy /s "$(cygpath -w /cygdrive/c/Users/siegfriend/Documents/bin)" "$(cygpath -w /cygdrive/f/backup/unison/bin)"
I believe this will do what you want. cygpath can be very helpful hen you desire to run a Windows program from the cygwin environment.
