I think forward slashes are not supported in the pipe parts after the
first `|'.  Only the first command gets its slashes mirrored.  Can you
try adding "c:\gnu\gnuwin32\bin" to your PATH (Emacs will need to be
restarted afterwards)?

If that doesn't help, can you try with GnuWin32 ports, but configure
rgrep not to use xargs?
