Please notice you make a wrong path of $2. because you are under Cygwin but BC3 not, so you should specify a full path for it. such as "d:/cygwin$2"

Please refer my git-diff-wrapper.sh here:

$ cat ~/git-diff-wrapper.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo $2
echo $5
/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Beyond\ Compare\ 3/BCompare.exe "d:/programs/cygwin$2" "$5"

Good luck.
