The problem is that GNU Radio is looking in the directory listed above, but 
the Windows C runtime library doesn't recognize MSYS filenames.  You can fix 
this by doing

export USRP_PATH=C:/msys/1.0/local/share/usrp

(from your MSYS shell) before running GNU Radio.

This is a general problem with all absolute file paths that are built into 
the code without being set by the configure process.
