I'm guessing BOOST_POSIX is getting defined, so you need to define 
BOOST_WINDOWS if you want the Windows rather POSIX behavior. See 
http://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm#Cgywin for discussion.

There have been past reports of problems with Cygwin; perhaps mingw has 
similar issues.

Please let me know what you find out.

Thanks,
