Okay, it looks like your installation is messed up.  I've gleaned the
following from your emails:

C:\cygnus is mounted as /

C:\home   is your home directory
This gets mapped to /home on cygwin

But /home should expand to C:\cygnus\home (given your mount points), not
C:\home

Yet, somehow, bash IS using C:\home\* and not C:\cygnus\home.  Do you
have C:\home mounted to /home?  If so, then does am empty directory
C:\cygnus\home actually exist, to provide the mount point?

Please send the output of 'cygcheck -s -v -r' to the list.

I do not see this behavior in ANY of the following environments:
rxvt window running bash, TERM=rxvt-cygwin
dos box running bash, TERM=cygwin
dos box (no bash), TERM=cygwin

What are *you* using?
