RE: Problem w/ cygwin tar.exe: Unable to tar directories beginning w/ the letter 'R' in NT 4.0


I think the problem is the bash shell interprets the backslash character
differently than you think it should.

Try: "/cygdrive/c/david/adv/roy" in place of "c:\david\adv\roy"

The shell perhaps considers '\r' as an escape character?
