I guess, the problem is not so much with Python and Gnuplot, but rather
with the interaction of W2K, Cygwin, and cron. It looks to me as if
your cron job simply doesn't know about the Cygwin file name mapping.
Try with a little test script. Alternatively, try with "Windows" (i.e.
DOS) file names "D:\cygwin\home\blabla\out.png".

Good luck, Joachim
