Thanks to those who responsed. Yes, cygwin1.dll was missing from my
environment. I wasn't using the full Cygwin install. The other response
related to file rights is probably also valid but instead of trying to
resolve the problem incrementally I went with the general suggestion of
moving to copSSH. After doing that I was up and running in minutes.

Thanks again
Tim
