netrw not working for me with Cygwin + Vim 7.2

Hey all,

This is probably a newbie question, but I've done some searching
around and documentation reading and I just can't seem to get it
working.

The problem is that I've got a fresh install of cygwin, which includes
vim 7.2. I'm "pretty" sure that includes the appropriate version of
netrw module. But when I try:

vim scp://machine_name//path/to/file

Vim comes up with "~/scp:/machine_name:/path/to_file" [New DIRECTORY]"
in the bottom of the window.

It looks to me like the netrw module isn't being called in this case.

Thinking I may have messed something up in my .inputrc, .vimrc,
or .vim directry, I moved them all aside to "test.inputrc", etc.

I've tried downloading my own version of the netrw module and forcing
my cygwin vim to use it, but that didn't seem to help at all (but I
have to be honest I only barely knew what I was doing there, so I may
have missed something important).

So, that's my tale of woe. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can
get netrw working?

Thanks,
Grant
