Windows tools can access /usr/share but not /usr/lib

Hello,
I am enhancing/fixing a perl tool (published to CPAN) which allows to import
files into a ClearCase
database (vob): synctree. Among the enhancements is support for cygwin.
While testing it on cygwin, I tried and failed to import it itself, from the
perl install directory, which
is under /usr/lib.
The tool spawns an IBM utility built for Windows (in this case): cleartool.
It is this cleartool which cannot access C:\cygwin\usr\lib
I notice that the Windows cmd shell has the exact same problem, which
disappears if using instead:
C:\cygwin\lib
My question is (as I'll have to implement a workaround) how can I detect
this issue?
I already found:
$ df /usr/lib
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
C:/cygwin/lib 244196348 35784364 208411984 15% /usr/lib
Is this the answer to my question?
Thanks,
Marc
P.S.
