Yes, but since there is no entry for the home dir in passwd for these users, the association with /mnt/userdata/ must come from the way Cygwin interprets them. Is there any harm to set a different (maybe even non-existing) home directory in passwd for these accounts? That would likely solve that problem, I'd think.
