Due to other changes below you can delete this line.

Change this to `set HOME=/home/gbaillie'.

If you want your batch shell to be bash this should be `set SHELL=/bin/bash'
but I suggest removing this.

> set LIBRARY_PATH=//d/cygwin/lib

If you need this variable, which I doubt that you do, the change this line to
`set LIBRARY_PATH=/lib'

This won't do anything.  Delete it.

Since you've set it in the batch file above you could remove this.

The syntax is wrong.  You could delete this line or change it to `export
SHELL=/bin/bash'.

You need to `umount /bin'.

You're environment settings have most likely confused Cygwin.
