Unacceptable? Perhaps your quoting skills and expectations fall
into that category...

I think you mean cygpath -m //DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile

I think you mean cygpath -u "\\\\DAEMON1\\anrdaemon\\.profile"

I think you mean cygpath -m "//DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile"

I think you mean cygpath -lm "//DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile"
