You may get better response by asking your questions on the cygwin mailing
list, then.

> C:\>rm.exe -f \\networkdrive\sharedfolder\cygwin\*.*

Cygwin prefers that you use unix-y style paths:

rm -f //networkdrive/sharedfolder/cygwin/*.*

It may be that your use of \ is causing your problems.  But again, the
cygwin list is a better place to ask.
