What shell do you use? I tested the README under bash.

But, /usr/bin and /bin are (should be) the same due to the following
mount point:

$ mount | fgrep /usr/bin
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)

Additionally, you (should) have something like the following:

$ ls -i1 /bin/postmaster /usr/bin/postmaster
4222124650679709 /bin/postmaster
4222124650679709 /usr/bin/postmaster
