Where did you put this test.bib file? I'm using openSUSE linux so I
don't know about Cygwin, but I have to put the .bib file
under .TeXmacs/system/bib for it to compile. There must be some similiar
folder under Cygwin that you need to put your test.bib into, for TeXmacs
to recognize it.

I think the rest of your steps are correct.
