Is --login really needed? Now, this is interesting... Why would you expect bash options to work for csh? If this really is a typo and h:\cygwin\bin\rxvt -e /bin/bash --login --rcfile /cygdrive/h/.bashrc -i does break for you from a DOS prompt, please run h:\cygwin\bin\bash --login --rcfile /cygdrive/h/.bashrc -i from the same DOS prompt and tell us what output it produces.
