That's really weird - what does a plain "env | grep PATH" return in an 
MSYS session? For some reason, your individual paths above are separated 
by spaces - they need to be separated by colons, as per Unix, e.g.

echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:.:/path/to/postgres

Don't worry about the short folder names - these are internal Windows 
names for folders on filesystems that can't/won't support long filenames.


ATB,

Mark.
