Error: too many arguments on commandline

I am trying to start up XWin with 3 screens, all of a specific size, but
when I run a command in a startup batch file like this (where %RUN% is
\cygwin\bin\run -p /usr/X11R6/bin):

%RUN% XWin :3 -clipboard -silent-dup-error -engine 1 -nodecoration
-multiplemonitors -screen 0 1280 1024 -screen 1 1280 1024 -screen 2 1280
1024

I get a popup error message titled "Run.exe" with message "Error: too
many arguments on commandline XWin". Removing the %RUN% gets rid of the
error, but of course, doesn't really help me any. Is there any way to
specify any of those options to XWin other than on the command line so
that maybe I will not exceed whatever run.exe limit I am hitting?

TIA,
