I am attempting to start a program using cygstart.
I am logged in through an SSH from a linux machine, I am capable of starting

Forgive my ignorance here, but is there a reason you can't just
"./program.exe" ?
Cygstart is for invoking a registered Windows action for non-executable
files (e.g. open or print; see man page for cygstart).
IOW, if double-clicking on an xml file in Windows Explorer would run
program.exe, then just 'cygstart file.xml' Otherwise, ./program.exe
file.xml should work great (I'm not aware of anything "special" about
cygstart wrt GUI-over-ssh issues).
