I don't use either of these myself, so I'm taking a shot at generic
advice.  Cygwin vim is going to expect to interact with POSIX-like
things using POSIX-like paths.  It's trying to give you a mock up
of a POSIX universe.  Using cygwin programs to call Windows based
tools can quickly get problematic.

A *potential* solution for you is to find and use a Windows vim to
talk with Windows based programs.

Maybe other people have specific knowledge / fixes for you ...
