Listen carefully: as Chris has already pointed out, that is NOT a posix 
path.  THIS is a posix path:

/cygdrive/c/jdk1.3.1/bin:/usr/local/bin:...:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/emacs/bin

Or, if you have mounted C:\ as /c (like I do on my boxes):

/c/jdk1.3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:...:/c/usr/local/emacs/bin

See?  There are NO ':' characters EXCEPT the path delimiters in a POSIX 
PATH variable.
