I recall something like this happening when I first switched to the 
new-style cygport files.  The problem turned out to be that I wasn't 
giving the full name of the cygport file in the command line.  If your 
file is `foo.cygport', you have to type

   cygport foo.cygport ...

You can't omit the `.cygport' suffix.
