I've used Cygwin some time ago, so my knowledge is not the best. Here are
some thoughts based on my experience with Linux. Hope they help.

bash uses the backslash (\) as an escape-character. On Linux
mount e:\ /e
is equivalent to
mount "e: /e"
If you need to pass a backslash to a program you shuld put two of them:
mount e:\\ /e
I think the same applies to Cygwin.

Maybe PATH is not correctly set. Have you tried "./my_program.exe" insted
of "my_program.exe"? Just an idea.
