If this is exactly what you have and you are using WinBoard 4.0 the problem is
the "-characters.
It would probably work with
/fcp="\"Lambchop -hash 40\" /fd=C:\\chess\\Lambchop"
where the first and last "-char is surrounding the whole fcp-parameter and
all the 'internal' "-chars should be preceeded by a \-char.

I would have done it something like this (just to be sure):

/fcp= "
\"Lambchop -hash 40\" /fd=\"C:\\chess\\Lambchop\"
"

If you want to choose between more programs, write like this:
/fcp= "
GNUChess
\"Lambchop -hash 40\" /fd=\"C:\\chess\\Lambchop\"
WCrafty /fd=\"C:\\Program Files\\Crafty\"
\"EXchess xb\" /fd=\"C:\\Program Files\\EXchess\"
ArasanX /fd=\"C:\\Program Files\\Arasan\\Arasan\"
"

I wrote this from memory so if there is some error I'm sorry but I think the
idea is clear at least ...?
