I might want to try what same thing? Creating my home directory? I 
assure you that /home/Andrew DeFaria exists. It has exists for quite 
some time. By and large Cygwin's OK with it. Some things don't work with 
it. ssh-user-config is just another one of those things...

(I could remake my home directory to not have a space in it however I'm 
of the opinion that since space is a valid character for a filename that 
programs should be coded to handle such cases).

Note I also tried:

$ ln -s "/home/Andrew DeFaria" /home/Andrew

and changing my home directory in /etc/passwd to /home/Andrew as well as 
trying to use /home/Andrew~1 (the DOS mangled name for /home/Andrew 
DeFaria) in /etc/passwd to no avail.
