Read not honouring "-r"?

All,
I am working on a script which monitors mounts for free space.
It does this by reading from a config file (surprise) consisting of
mount, threshold, threshold.
One would expect a "read -r fs t2 t3" to process this without attempting
to expand slashes. But I can't seem to get this bit working... And I
can't seem to find any doco on doing that in Cygwin.
The files I am using are tagged on the and in the hope that someone can
help me work this out. Sorry, but the mailservers blocks them otherwise
:(
No doubt I have missed something rather obvious.
Any assistance greatly appreciated!
Regards,
-doug
