That is it. My $HOME is set to '/'. If I change it to
something else things work as expected. 

This opens up two questions,

1. Why is $HOME set to '/'? According to /etc/profile
it should be set to /home/RDW. id -un returns RDW. Not
sure why this is not setup correctly.

2. This was working fine before updating my cygwin
setup. My $HOME was set to '/' before and everything
was fine.

I've hardcoded some things to get around this problem.
Not sure why this happened. I havn't changed anything
or have an unusual setup. 

Thanks for all your help,

ron
