Along the same lines of the /<missing>/d/home 
idea, have you tried setting your home directory 
to a dir on the linux box? Maybe cygwin ssh is 
converting /d/home to /cygdrive/d/home and the 
linux box doesn't grok /cygdrive, since it isn't 
*really* a directory, and the linux box can't look 
there for your identity files?

HTH,
Peter
