Thanks. Loading the uncompiled version of epa-file first may give a more
informative backtrace:

  M-x load-file path/to/lisp/epa-file.el

The fact that the file is actually on drive c but pretends to be on
drive d (?) seems odd to me, but may be totally normal for all I know of
Cygwin:

  write-region(nil nil "/cygdrive/c/Users/jason/test.gpg" nil t 
"/cygdrive/d/Users/jason/test.gpg")
