Check the setting of the PATH from within the cron job, as I would be
willing to bet that your Cygwin bin directory is not in the path and
that you're actually calling these non-Cygwin versions of those commands
that have no idea what /home/tompagano is.  The default install of
Cygwin only modifies the PATH through the cygwin.bat file, not via the
system-wide setting of PATH in the registry, so by default Cygwin is
only in your path when you click on cygwin.bat to launch a bash prompt.
