Quoting from <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.user/7728>:
«Now that I got everything sorted out (thanks to all who replied!), I
figure I might as well post to the list how I automated Inkscape SVG
exporting under Windows+cygwin, perhaps it will save someone else some

The first stumbling block was that inkscape requires full paths to the
original file and the destination file. The second stumbling block

/cygdrive/c/... notation.»

AFAIU full paths are no longer required with Inkscape 0.48 (at least when using formats supported by internal extensions; for script-based extensions possibly the regression reported in bug #695120 also applies to Windows builds).

Inkscape 0.48 has seen several changes with regard to the command line usage on Windows:
