Comment(by erinn):

 I spent a few more hours trying to get this to work the other day and have
 some better insight into the problem:

 Hudson executes /bin/sh on each build slave when it connects so it can run
 commands. I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.hudson-
 ci.org/display/HUDSON/Installing+Hudson, set up Hudson as a Windows
 service on the slave, and installed the sh.exe from !UnxUtils (which
 appears to be zsh). That seems to use a different PATH than the one used
 by cmd.exe's shell or msys's shell, both of which have similar but
 slightly different paths. In any case, it can't execute git right now
 either, although that is probably a solvable problem.

 The larger issue is that I need to figure out how to use msys's
 environment with Hudson. I've googled around a bit and can't seem to find
 any documentation about how to do this, although it appears a lot of
 people have managed to get it working. Simply executing the msys.bat that
 comes with msys seems insufficient.
