Cheyenne, Looks like you're attempting to do what Xiaochun was also recently tasked with doing: install HBase in a Windows environment using Cygwin[1].
I shared with him the frustrations I experienced when attempting to do this over a year ago[2], but forwarded him the "raw" notes that I took as I attempted it[3]. Bottom line: It is probably best to avoid trying to use the Cygwin implementation; it does not appear to be an option that is actively supported. I would recommend either switching over to a Linux box or setting up a virtual Linux environment on your Windows machine, and then do the standard HBase installation there. I use VirtualBox for my virtual machine with Ubuntu installed "inside" of it. Even if you are inexperienced with Linux, I think it is worth mounting that learning curve (and Ubuntu is the friendliest Linux environment) than banging your head against a likely quite uncooperative Cygwin environment. Good luck!
