Andy,
DISCLAIMER: I know nothing about expect, I don't use it, I don't even have
it installed.
However, even without having used expect, the underlined lines above look
suspicious. According to <http://www.cygwin.com/packages/expect/>, the
latest version of the expect package for Cygwin is 20030128-1, *not* 5.26.
Also, according to the package listing of expect-20030128-1, the "expect"
program resides in /usr/bin, *not* /usr/local.bin... Looks like you're
not using Cygwin's expect, and so your question is off-topic for this
list. On the off chance that you *are* using the Cygwin expect package,
and just aren't reporting the versions and paths correctly, please review

and follow the guidelines, especially the bit about attaching the output
of "cygcheck -svr".
