With --unix, you are supposed to feed Windows names to cygpath, not POSIX names.

Try with

cygpath --path --unix "c:/fop-1.0/lib/xmlgraphics-commons-1.4.jar;c:/fop-1.0/lib/xml-apis-ext-1.3.04.jar;c:/fop-1.0/lib/xml-apis-1.3.04.jar;c:/fop-1.0/lib/xercesImpl-2.7.1.jar;c:/fop-1.0/lib/xalan-2.7.0.jar;c:/tellmeiamtoolongah"

Cheers,
Peter
