I'v been bitten by this one more than once in Cygwin...
You have to quote paths containing spaces. The trick is to use Windows-style quotation for arguments going to cmd.exe and Unix-style quotation for arguments going to bash.exe or other Cygwin programs...
For example, from a bash session I'd try to invoke your Windows Scilab as :
/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/scilab-6.0.1/bin/scilab -nw`
(note the backslash quoting the space in 'Program Files).
HTH,
