Makes sense.
It's probably some subtle snafu with command-line quoting. Were the
'qoutes' typed by you, or did Emacs produce them?
In any case, if you can spot where this quoting goes wrong, please
tell the details. The combination of a native Windows Emacs and
Cygwin shell/utilities is relatively less well tested and has
subtleties, so I'm not surprised to hear about such problems.
