.. or alternatively, your $SYSTEMROOT variable wasn't set at all, as
Dave said.  Hard-coding it will fix the problem, but you really should
find out why it's not set if that is the case, because it could lead to
future mysterious problems.

Past versions of the Cygwin DLL had minor bugs where it would not
propagate the SYSTEMROOT variable in certain circumstances, such as when
sshing into a machine.  But that should be fixed with any recent
version.
