One error in the winelauncher script, that is corrected in
wine-20010305.

For you it is probably better to invoke Agent as follows:

cd '/mnt/C/Program Files/Agent'
wine agent.exe

That is, if you are using Agent's default locations for agent.exe,
agent.ini and datafiles.

Use the proper options (uid, gid and umask) for mounting your windows
partition in /etc/fstab. An example is found in the wine-howto:
