Sorry that I can't help you with your cron problem, but have you
considered using the Windows Task Scheduler instead given the urgency of
your situation?  It can be used to kick off Cygwin processes just like
any other.  You'll need to wrap your existing tasks with a script in
order to ensure that they receive the right environment, but that may be
easier than debugging cron at this time.

I hate the Windblows task scheduler. Plus, while I am away I might have to remotely get in via ssh (which also doesn't work) and change/add entries. That is best done using text editing.

You could always use remote desktop if you're having problems with ssh (again, given the urgency of your situation).
