Run .exe inside shell script

I have to run some shell scripts in Windows using Cygwin. I am able to achieve that using
Code:
%BASH% --login -i "/cygdrive/d/script.sh"

, where %BASH% is an environment variable in Windows set to
Code:
C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe

.
I have a created a Cygwin environment variable
Code:
$EXE_PATH = /cygdrive/d/somepath/dir

. Inside my script the line is
Code:
$EXE_PATH/some.exe -f /cygdrive/d/password.txt

There is error in this line every time I run the script. Error is something to do with the
Code:
some.exe/password.txt

not being found.
If I run the same command from the Cygwin terminal, it works fine. Is there something wrong with the environemnt variable or the way exe is executed, because of its argrument list? is this the right way to execute an exe inside a shell script?

Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo simple shell script
echo $EXE_PATH
$EXE_PATH/runube -f password.txt DVRP910 *ALL R0006P XJDE0001 QBATCH B #H S //NASRVNY/NY_02 --- this doesn't work
cat $TESTLEELA/password.txt --- this line works

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities SYNOPSIS
package require platform::shell ?1.1.4? platform::shell::generic shell platform::shell::identify shell platform::shell::platform shell _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell. This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine. While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running shell this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run 32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers. For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software. COMMANDS
platform::shell::identify shell This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::generic shell This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::platform shell This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell. KEYWORDS
operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture platform::shell 1.1.4 platform::shell(n)
