The correct fix is to call cygpath -u on local file names prior to
invoking the Cygwin version of rcp.  I will ignore that and stick to
the inline methods.

Reading and writing of files is working as is list-directory (C-x
C-d).  However dired (C-x d) is failing.  The error message is like
"Directory /[rm/skye]/home/dapd2/formanp/doc\ inaccessible or
nonexistent".

Here are a couple of backtraces for the same directory with and
without a trailing slash.  Why isn't Tramp involved?
