It's a symbolic link and you apparently have "nowinsymlinks" in your 
CYGWIN environment variable.  You either need to unset that and recreate 
the symbolic links (and others referring to executables on your system) or
always run these from a shell like bash that understands Cygwin symbolic 
links (not windows shortcuts).
