Converting jpeg images with IM on cygwin works for me too.
I too have never seen that notation (although it may work).
I would use either '-resize 600' or '-resize 600x600' both of
which would preserve the aspect ratio.

Maybe there is something wrong with that particular jpeg.  Have
you tried this on others?

If you type 'identify -list format | fgrep JPEG' is jpeg listed with rw-?
