               ^^^^^^^^^
why do you have the word "touch" in your configuration?
Do you call the "touch" program under GNU/Linux? 
Do you have it installed under Windows?

from the description of the variable:

  "Name of directory in which to store publishing timestamps."

Do you have it *in your home* under Windows?

Could you, please, customize the org-publish-use-timestamps-flag to nil

(defcustom org-publish-use-timestamps-flag t
  "When non-nil, use timestamp checking to publish only changed files.
When nil, do no timestamp checking and always publish all files."

to see if you still have the publishing problem?
