title: Cygwin 'cd' command always tells me "No such file or directory"
body: <p>When i login to the cygwin terminal and type:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cd "cygdrive/c/existing/path"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it tells me, "no such file or directory". i am sure the path exists... do i miss a special cygwin package, or do i have a false configuration? i am puzzled...</p>
  
  <p>It behaves the same when i try to call the cygwin bash from a windows batch file.
  what i basically want to do is creating a windows batch file which starts cygwin and executes a shell script with a specified working directory as its described in this blog post: <a href="http://blog.dotsmart.net/2011/01/27/executing-cygwin-bash-scripts-on-windows/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.dotsmart.net/2011/01/27/executing-cygwin-bash-scripts-on-windows/</a></p>
  
  <p>my batch file seems to work, it does the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>%_CYGBIN%\bash.exe --login "cd %_CYGPATH%" "./%_CYGSCRIPT%"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but cygwin won't execute the 'cd' command. The console output of my batch file is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/bin/bash: cd /cygdrive/c/existing/path: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
