And that would be your problem. Make sure your path is set, either in the Windows environment, 'cygwin.bat', or '/etc/profile' and friends. Generally, the path is set in the Windows environment and appended to in '/etc/profile'. The path from '/etc/profile' is used by 'bash' and contains all the Cygwin paths you need to run. It would seem that you're clobbering the path out of existence with some local setting.
