Actually this sounds like you need to:

chmod a+x /bin/bash

When you login into a sshd server its looks in the /etc/passwd (usually)
there is a shell
that gets associated with your login (in the case /bin/bash). Make sure that
/bin/bash
is executable for everyone on your system.

OK, so do you have /bin/bash in your environment before invoking ssh.
You'll probably need to invoke ssh with its debugging turned on (-v 
see the ssh man page) to see where it's going wrong.  I assume you 
read /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-*.README and followed all the instructions
there before attempting to use openssh?  If not, go here and read this 
too.
