  Maybe your script doesn't like windows-style filenames.  Cygwin provides
posix-style paths using the /cygdrive/<driveletter> prefix.  Try

FindDataRights.dat /cygdrive/c/filename 

  Read 

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/highlights.html#ov-hi-files
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#cygpath

to get started.  (Then read the rest of the user guide!)

    cheers,
