Just to expand a little on this as well,  if you would just log into 
SSH using your example:

ssh [email protected]

You will be dropped at a Cygwin-based bash shell command line on the 
remote windows machine.  Once you are there, try typing the command 
you wanted to send across before.  If it executes ok in that setting,
then there is definitely an issue regarding the command line on the
local machine or there is an issue of some sort of command line length
built into the OpenSSH for Windows version of SSH.
