Jody, the first argument to call-process is the path to the executable; with
that invocation, you're trying to run an executable called
"c:/cygwin/usr/bin/bash.exe -c /c/jklymak/test.sh", which obviously doesn't
exist.  You need to provide the arguments separately from the path to the
program to run.  

See the documentation for call-process for details (C-h f call-process RET).
Something like 

(call-process "c:/cygwin/usr/bin/bash.exe" nil nil nil "-c"
"/c/jklymak/test.sh")

should work.
