Yes, that is the problem.
The Cygwin bash should provide a better error message, which should be 
trivial.

Thanks,

The difference between machines is probably in using text mounts vs.
binary mounts.  On the machines where it fails, you have binary mounts
with files with CR/NL line endings.  See the latest `bash' release
notes for an explanation of your options, which basically revolve
around either running your scripts through `d2u' to change the line
endings, setting the `igncr' shell option, or switching to text mode
mounts.

more details.
